subject: New Symbol Of Online Cpt Codes 2010 [print this page] If you are relying on numerical order to ensure you find the correct hemorrhoidectomy code, you need to watch out. As you know, from January 1, there are no specific codes where you expect them and making use of an unspecified code when a specific code is available could affect your pay. This is why CPT 2010 introduced the new # symbol to alert you to an out-of-order code.
The symbol #" works like a flashing yellow light: You need to slow down as there might be something unexpected. The AMA has come up with another option rather than moving groups of codes to new sections. CPT will now resequence codes in some examples to avoid renumbering the codes.
