2011 Update for Lab, Pathology Codes
Below
are the new and revised codes
for laboratory and pathology
services. As of January
1, 2011, Medicare will not allow
a grace period to accommodate
coding revisions. The
rule requires use of the medical
code set that is valid at the
time the service is provided.
These codes were obtained from
the Current Procedural Terminology
CPT 2011 book published by the
American Medical Association.
Questions concerning your utilization
of the CPT codes should be addressed
with your local carrier/payer,
as coding may vary from one carrier
to another.
