Codes in this policy
Code numbers and each code’s status as the policy records it. CPT code descriptions are left out of this page, as are the passages that cite CPT codes; the official document has them.
Codes labeled “Inferred from policy title” are not listed in the policy document; Backwork attached them because the policy title names the drug.
