In selected instances, specific instructions may define a service as limited to professionals or limited to other entities (eg, hospital or home health agency). Revise the instructions for use of the CPT codebook guidelines to include missing content define a service as limited to professionals or limited to other entities (eg, hospital or home health agency). Musculoskeletal System General Introduction or Removal Application of halo, including removal; cranial CPT Assistant Nov 97:14, Aug 12:14 Revise the CPT Assistant citation for code Hemic and Lymphatic Systems General Transplantation and Post-Transplantation Cellular Infusions Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) refers to the infusion of hematopoietic progenitor HCT may be autologous (when the HPC donor and recipient are the same person) or allogeneic (when the HPC donor and recipient are not the same person). Code is used to report any autologous transplant while is used to report an allogeneic transplant. In some cases allogeneic transplants involve more than one donor and cells from each donor are infused sequentially whereby one unit of is reported for each donor infused. Code is used to report a donor lymphocyte infusion. Code is used to report a HPC boost from the original allogeneic HPC donor. A lymphocyte infusion or HPC boost can occur days, months or even years after the initial hematopoietic cell transplant. The lymphocyte infusion is used to treat relapse, infection, or post-transplant lymphoproliferative syndrome. HPC boost represents an infusion of hematopoietic progenitor cells from the original donor that is being used to treat a relapse or post-transplant cytopenia(s). Codes 38240, 38242, and should not be reported together on the same date of service. T ffective 10/14/13 If a separately identifiable evaluation and management service is performed on the same date Hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC); allogeneic transplantation per donor autologous transplantation # HPC boost Revise the transplantation and post-transplantation cellular infusion guidelines by removing the inaccurate statement that HPC boost is used for treatment of relapse, infection, or posttransplant lymphoproliferative syndrome st Updated:

4 rrata and Technical Corrections Nervous System Destruction by Neurolytic Agent (eg, Chemical, Thermal, lectrical or Radiofrequency), Chemodenervation Report 64642, 64643, 64644, once per extremity. Codes 64642, 64643, 64644, can be reported together up to a combined total of four units of service per patient when all four extremities are injected. Report only one base code (64642 or 64644) per session. Report one or more units of additional extremity code(s) (64643 or 64645) for each additional extremity injected. Report or for chemodenervation of muscles of the trunk. T ffective 10/14/13 Trunk muscles include the erector spinae and paraspinal muscles, rectus abdominus and obliques. All other somatic muscles are extremity muscles, head muscles, or neck muscles. (For chemodenervation guided by needle electromyography or muscle electrical stimulation, see 95873, Do not report more than one guidance code for each corresponding chemodenervation of extremity or trunk code) (Do not report modifier 50 in conjunction with 64642, 64643, 64644, 64645, 64646, 64647) Chemodenervation of one extremity; 1-4 muscle(s) Revise the guidelines preceding code to limit injections to reporting of one unit for injection of each additional extremity.

Medicine Cardiovascular Cardiography Codes are appropriate when an order for the test is triggered by an event, the rhythm strip is used to help diagnose the presence or absence of an arrhythmia, and a report is generated. There must be a specific order for an electrocardiogram or rhythm strip followed by a separate, signed, written, and retrievable report. It is not appropriate to use these codes for reviewing the telemetry monitor strips taken from a monitoring system. The need for an electrocardiogram or rhythm strip should be supported by documentation in the patient medical record. (For echocardiography, see ) (For electrocardiogram, 64 leads or greater, with graphic presentation and analysis, see 0178T- 0180T use 93799) lectrocardiogram, routine CG Delete reference to code from the parenthetical note preceding and replace with codes 0178T-0180T. st Updated:
