Assuming you are referring to procedure codes, a NOC (not otherwise classified) or unlisted code could be used. The other alternative is to change the policy/redefine the services to fit the code structure that is available. One can submit a request for a new HCPCS code by 3-31-03 that could (or could not) be approved for 2004 - CPT codes need to be requested form the AMA for 2005 - and ADA codes need to go to the American Dental Association -

They are using Amysis software and they can't match up to these local codes. Is there a rule of thumb for this? - --- The WEDI SNIP listserv to which you are subscribed is not moderated.
