Just received my AMA CPT book for 2011
80104 Multiple drug classes other than chromatographic method, each procedure
(Just like G0430, but for all carriers in 2011—Noticed that CPT Changes 2011 addresses this code )
Notes before 64479-64484
Imaging guidance {fluoroscopy or CT} and any injection of contrast are inclusive components of 64479-64484. Imaging guidance and localization are required for the performance of 64479-64484)
64479 Injection(s) anesthetic agent and/or steroid, transformaminal epidural, with imaging guidance (fluoroscopy or CT); cervical or thoracic; single level
(I am sure that many assumed this change would be made to these codes since many LCDs and Medical policies have currently stated imaging guidance is required and with similar changes to facet codes last year)
77003 now only contains (epidural, subarachnoid, or sacroiliac joint) in the descriptor
Subsequent Observation Care
99224-99226
(Subsequent observation care will no longer be billed as 99211-99215 or 99499 with these new codes)
