  1. There are a few and you need to be exact when submitting the code based on diagnosis:

    721.90 Without mention of myelopathy
    Spinal:
    arthritis (deformans) (degenerative) (hypertrophic)
    osteoarthritis NOS (Not otherwise specified)
    Spondylarthrosis NOS (Not otherwise specified)

    952 Spinal cord injury without evidence of spinal bone injury

    225.4 Spinal meninges
    Spinal meningioma

    742.9 Unspecified anomaly of brain, spinal cord, and nervous system
    Anomaly of brain, nervous system, and spinal cord
    Congenital, of brain, nervous system, and spinal cord:
    disease of brain, nervous system, and spinal cord
    lesion of brain, nervous system, and spinal cord
    Deformity of brain, nervous system, and spinal cord

  2. That might be a tad bit too broad being as there is cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine. Are you talking about the body of the bone or the disks. you’ll have to get more specific but try looking here
