CPT 22551 vs 22554 & 63075

What's the difference?

When would 22554 & 63075 be appropriate? When would 22551?

Am I the only one that's confused?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

You now report 22551 for what was traditionally reported with 63075/22554. You would report 63075 or 22554 if performed at different levels.
