Richard,

 

This is just silly.

 

 

The codes do not have requirements THEY ARE CODES

 

The codes are intended to simply describe a proceedure

 

and set a basis for comparison hence the name -Current

 

Procedural Terminology or CPT.

 

 

Educational and other requirements are contained in

 

state laws and the requirements of individual

 

insurance companies

 

 

Scare tactics like the ones you use are desperate acts

 

of people who have little faith in their own message

 

or the intelligence of their audience.

There are NO scare tactics.

 

These are the FACTS.

 

You can imagine that they don't exist but that won't negate their TRUTH.

 

Have a nice day.

Richard: the FACTS are that No ONE In the greater New York area accepts ABC

codes. (or probably anywhere else in the country) So the FACT that we now

have a few more codes to work with within the 'normal' medical infrastructure is

a positive step.
