Wiki Kidney transplant evaluation

[suepinney]

Hi,

The Urologist that I bill for does kidney transplants and was told by a colleage that there is a specific CPT for a pre-transplant evaluation. He said there is no fee schedule for it, that the provider can set his own fee. Perhaps this is an unlisted or new code? I have always billed with an appropriate outpatient E&M. Does anyone know this code?

Thanks,
Sue
