The CPT® Code 0562T refers to the creation of an additional 3D-printed anatomic guide that is specifically designed from a set of imaging data. These anatomic guides serve as surgical tools that provide precise guidance for cutting or drilling during surgical procedures. Unlike models that represent the overall anatomy of a patient, these guides are tailored to fit directly over the patient's anatomy, ensuring accuracy during surgery. The process begins with a thorough review of previously acquired imaging data to assess its adequacy for creating an accurate guide. This involves the use of dedicated segmentation software, which helps in isolating the target anatomy from surrounding structures, thereby generating a digital representation that can be utilized for virtual surgical planning. The design of the guide incorporates planned cutting planes, which are digitally placed in the desired locations, and the final design is meticulously crafted to match the contours of the patient's anatomy. The guide is printed using biocompatible and sterilizable materials, ensuring safety and effectiveness in the surgical environment. Each guide is uniquely identified for the patient, and the process includes a review of the final design before surgery, along with documentation through photographs. It is important to note that while the code 0561T is used for the first anatomic guide printed, code 0562T is designated for each additional guide created for the same patient.

The 3D-printed anatomic guides are indicated for use in various surgical procedures where precise cutting or drilling is required. These indications may include, but are not limited to, the following:
The procedure for creating a 3D-printed anatomic guide involves several detailed steps to ensure accuracy and effectiveness:
Post-procedure care for the 3D-printed anatomic guides primarily involves ensuring that the guides are properly sterilized and maintained for use during surgery. The guides must be reviewed for any design considerations that may affect their application in the surgical setting. Additionally, documentation, including photographs of the final guide, is essential for record-keeping and compliance purposes. The guides are intended to facilitate precise surgical interventions, and their effectiveness is contingent upon the accuracy of the design and the quality of the imaging data used in their creation.
