   Just found out today that CMS has a new CPT code for the E-Rx reporting. It’s G8553. Does anyone know if the other codes (G8443, G8445, and G8446) are still reportable?

   New G-code introduced for e-prescribing in 2010
   by Charles Fiegl on Dec 1, 2009
   You must use a new G-code to report you’ve electronically prescribed drugs for a Medicare patient in 2010. You’ll forfeit incentive bonuses — amounting to roughly $1,500 per provider — if you continue to report old codes for e-prescribing.
   You report G8553 (At least one prescription created during the encounter was generated and transmitted electronically using a qualified eRx system) on claims during eligible patient encounters in 2010.
