I need some clarification as to what happens when a category III code is accepted/implemented. I thought it would get a Category I code.
Specifically, I am interested in Cat III codes 0213T - 0218T.
The information I can find shows that these codes were released on 7/1/09, accepted on 1/1/10 and added to CPT in 2011. However, I cannot find out what the Category I codes nor can I find RVUs for these codes.
What I am looking for is information to show what the cost of doing this procedure (paravertebral injections with ultrasound guidance) is in relation to the Cat I codes, 64490-64495, which are paravertebral injections using fluoroscopic guidance.
