Procedure codes
Common insurer procedure codes (CCSD) for the operations and injections Mr Shah performs. For guidance only: insurers set their own rules and fees, so please confirm cover and codes with your insurer before treatment. Use a robotic code only where robotic assistance was used.

Codes checked against the Bupa Schedule of Procedures (15 September 2026, codes.bupa.co.uk), AXA Health and Freedom Health schedules, October 2026. Codes are for guidance and do not guarantee cover.
The Mako descriptions labelled Spire use the code list supplied by Mr Shah from Spire. These codes are already included in the table; the Spire list specifies CT scan for W3720/W3721 and W5830/W5831. W5820 is unilateral partial knee replacement and W5821 is bilateral. Confirm cover with your insurer.
