CPT and HCPCS Level II have their own identifiers. Therefore, this identifier should never be used in current electronic interchange and is maintained for historical reference only.

This Code system is referenced in the content logical definition of the following value sets:

  • This CodeSystem is not used here; it may be used elsewhere (e.g. specifications and/or implementations that use this content)
