period. We have added these items to the PE database along<br />

with the associated prices (on an interim basis). We plan<br />

to propose finalized pricing information in the CY 2010 PFS<br />

proposed rule. Item prices identified in these tables are<br />

also reflected in the PE RVUs in Addendum B. In addition,<br />

we have asked commenters to submit specific information in<br />

response to the discussion of the supply and equipment<br />

items for some each of the new CPT codes in section V. of<br />

this final rule with comment period. We have also<br />

specifically asked for public comment about the direct cost<br />

inputs for the 3 new 2009 CPT codes which we<br />

contractor-priced for CY 2009 (CPT codes 93229, 93299, and<br />

95803).<br />
