Have relative value units been assigned to the new code 99174?
No. Although this service now has a Level 1 CPT code, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services publications do not include RVUs for this new code. Prior to 2008, Category III code 0065T was used to describe this service on claims for reimbursement. Ms. McCune is vice president of Corcoran Consulting Group.
