CMS-1403-FC ● EPO and other dialysis-related drugs furnished in or by an ESRD facility (§411.355(g)). ● Preventive screening tests, immunizations, or vaccines (§411.355(h)). The Code List was last updated in the CY 2008 PFS final rule with comment period (72 FR 66222) and in a subsequent correction notice (73 FR 2568). 2. Response to Comments We received no public comments relating to the Code List that became effective January 1, 2008. 3. Revisions Effective for 2009 The updated, comprehensive Code List effective January 1, 2009 appears as Addendum J in this final rule with comment period and is available on our Web site at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/PhysicianSelfReferral/11_List_of_Cod es.asp#TopOfPage. Additions, deletions, and revisions to the Code List conform the Code List to the most recent publications of CPT and HCPCS. Tables 29, 30, and 31 identify the additions, deletions, and revisions, respectively, to the comprehensive Code List that was published in Addendum I of the CY 2008 PFS final rule (72 FR 66574 through 66578) and revised in a subsequent correction notice (73 FR 2568). 938
CMS-1403-FC Tables 29 and 30 also identify the additions and deletions to the lists of codes used to identify the items and services that may qualify for the exceptions in §411.355(g) (regarding EPO and other dialysis-related outpatient prescription drugs furnished in or by an ESRD facility) and in §411.355(h) (regarding preventive screening tests, immunizations, and vaccines). In Table 29, we specify additions that generally reflect new CPT and HCPCS codes that become effective January 1, 2009, or that became effective since our last update. Also, we are adding CPT code 0183T (Low frequency, non-contact, non-thermal ultrasound) to the category of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Outpatient Speech-Language Pathology Services. The AMA added this code to the CPT for 2008, but we inadvertently failed to add this code to our Code List. Table 30 reflects the deletions necessary to conform the Code List to the most recent publications of CPT and HCPCS. It also reflects our decision to delete CPT codes 78000, 78001, and 78003 from the Radiology and Certain Other Imaging Services category of the Code List because we realized that these codes do not involve imaging and, therefore, should not be included in that category. 939
