The U.S. Department of HHS has adopted national standards for electronic administrative and financial healthcare transactions. This is one of the most positive attributes of Title II of HIPAA, also known as administrative simplification, as it eliminates the conflicting transaction standards, coding sets, and identifiers used by the various players in the industry. Initial transaction and code sets were implemented in October 2002, with a revised code set standards defined and implemented by October 2003. The standards relating to enrollment, referrals, claims, payments, eligibility for a health plan, payment and remittance advice, premium payments, health-claim status, and referral certifications and authorizations. By developing national standards, it is anticipated that EDI of healthcare data will significantly reduce administrative costs. The Workgroup on Electronic Data Interchange (2000) estimated that EDI can reduce administrative costs by $26 billion per year by streamlining precertification, enrollment status, and reimbursement processes. Code Sets have also been defined in which variations are not permitted. Code Sets are based on the following standards: International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICP-9) Volumes 1 and 2—Diagnosis CodingInternational Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICP-9) Volume 3—Inpatient Hospital Service CodingInternational Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) (To be implemented October 1, 2013)International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Procedural Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) (It is a successor to Vol. 3 of ICD-9-CM as well as a clinical modification of the ICD-10) (To be implemented October 1, 2013)Current Procedural Terminology (CPT 4; Fourth Edition, maintained by the American Medical Association [AMA].)—Physician Service CodingCurrent Dental Terminology (CDT; it is a code set developed and maintained by the American Dental Association [ADA].) 2011/2012—Dental Service CodingHealthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS; based on CPT.

Patients were excluded from this study if they had a concurrent ICD-10-PCS procedure code for thoracic/thoracolumbar/cervical/cervicothoracic/posterolateral spinal fusion or concurrent use of both cage types (3D-printed-titanium and at least one of the PEEK devices), or deformity diagnosis within the index hospital episode.
