5 0182 THigh dose rateelectronicbrachytherapy, perfractionDeleted(0182T hasbeen deleted,To report, see0394T, 0395T) The 2016 code set deleted code0182T reported for the placement ofa minute, high dose rate, or HDR, X-ray source near the tumor site in thebody. This is a Category III code ,which is a temporary code used toallow for data collection specific toemerging technology, services orprocedures. CPT advises that thiscode is now reportable using twonew temporary codes, 0394T toreport HDR electronic skinbrachytherapy, and 0395T to reportHDR electronic interstitial orintracavitary treatments. Note thatthe new codes include the workassociated with the basic dosimetrycalculation when cardiography,including automatedanalysis of combinedacoustic and electricalintervals; single, withinterpretation and reportDeleted(0223T,0224T, 0225 Thave beendeleted.)

6 Toreportacousticcardiography,use 93799) The 2016 code set deleted 0223 Tfor the correlation of systolic anddiastolic heart sounds with anelectrocardiograph, or ECG, tracingto evaluate heart function or bloodcirculation. This is a Category IIIcode, which is a temporary codeused to allow for data collectionspecific to emerging technology,services or procedures . CPT advises that this code has not beenaccepted for placement in theCategory I section of CPT and isnot being retained. Therefore, 0223 Tis being removed from CPT .0224 TAcoustic cardiography,including automatedanalysis of combinedacoustic and electricalintervals; multiple,including serial trendedanalysis and limitedreprogramming ofdevice parameter, AV orVV delays only, withinterpretation and reportDeleted(0223T,0224T, 0225 Thave beendeleted.

7 Toreportacousticcardiography,use 93799) The 2016 code set deleted 0224 Tfor multiple correlations of systolicand diastolic heart sounds with anelectrocardiograph, or ECG, tracingto evaluate heart function or bloodcirculation. This is a Category IIIcode, which is a temporary codeused to allow for data collectionspecific to emerging technology,services or procedures . CPT advises that this code has not beenaccepted for placement in theCategory I section of CPT and isnot being retained. Therefore,0224T is being removed fromCPT .0225 TAcoustic cardiography,including automatedanalysis of combinedacoustic and electricalintervals; multiple,including serial trendedanalysis and limitedreprogramming ofdevice parameter, AVand VV delays, withinterpretation and reportDeleted(0223T,0224T, 0225 Thave beendeleted.

8 Toreportacousticcardiography,use 93799) The 2016 code set deleted 0225 Tfor multiple correlations of systolicand diastolic heart sounds with anelectrocardiograph, or ECG, tracingto evaluate heart function or bloodcirculation, and serial analyses withatrioventricular and interventriculardelay and limited reprogramming ofthe device parameters, or is a Category III code , which isa temporary code used to allow fordata collection specific to emergingtechnology, services or advises that this code has notbeen accepted for placement in theCategory I section of CPT and isnot being retained. Therefore,0225T is being removed fromCPT .0233 TSkin advanced glycationendproducts (AGE)measurement by multi-wavelength fluorescentspectroscopyDeleted(0233T hasbeen report skinadvancedglycationendproductsmeasurem entby multi-wavelengthfluorescentspectroscopy, use 88749) The 2016 code set deleted 0233 Tfor the measurement of the skinfluoresce due to depositedadvanced glycation is a Category III code , which isa temporary code used to allow fordata collection specific to emergingtechnology, services or advises that this code has notbeen accepted for placement in theCategory I section of CPT and isnot being retained.

9 Therefore,0233T is being removed fromCPT .0240 TEsophageal motility(manometric study ofthe esophagus and/orgastroesophagealjunction) study withinterpretation andreport; with highresolution esophagealpressure topographyDeletedThe AMAdoes notprovidecrosswalkcodes for thisdeleted code The 2016 code set deleted 0240 Tfor a manometric study of theesophagus and or the junctionbetween the esophagus and thestomach to measure musclepressure and movement,coordination, and strength of theesophageal contractions. This is aCategory III code , which is atemporary code used to allow fordata collection specific to emergingtechnology, services or advises that this code has notbeen accepted for placement in theCategory I section of CPT and isnot being retained.

10 Therefore,0240T is being removed fromCPT .0241 TEsophageal motility(manometric study ofthe esophagus and/orgastroesophagealjunction) study withinterpretation andreport; with stimulationor perfusion during highresolution esophagealpressure topographystudy (eg, stimulant,acid or alkali perfusion)(List separately inaddition to code forprimary procedure)DeletedThe AMAdoes notprovidecrosswalkcodes for thisdeleted code The 2016 code set deleted 0241T amanometric study of the esophagusand or the junction between theesophagus and the stomach tomeasure muscle pressure andmovement, coordination, andstrength of the esophagealcontractions with stimulation orperfusion during high resolutionesophageal pressure topographystudy.
