Company comments
“The entry in force of the CPT 2017 reimbursement Codebook (Current Procedural Terminology) as of January 1 2017 is a milestone towards the full acceptance of endoscopic minimally invasive spine surgery techniques. The codebook now contains the first endoscopic spinal surgery code, under which the specific transforaminal (TESSYS®) and/or interlaminar (iLESSYS®) procedures marketed by joimax® are now eligible in the U.S. This will further contribute to fully increase sales in the U.S. as well,” states Wolfgang Ries, Founder and CEO of joimax®.
