Hi. I just recently finished a coding course and everything is still very new to me. I am studying for the CPC using the Standard Edition, however I can't find the codes 80301 section in this book. Can someone please help me with this? Should I be using another Edition of the CPT? I appreciate your help. :confused:
 
Cpt 80301

CPT 80301 is a new code for 2015, so if you are using an older edition of CPT it won't be in there. There were some big changes in this code range for 2015. CPT codes 80100, 80101, 80102, 80103, and 80104 were deleted and replaced with new codes that more clearly define the drug class and the methodologies involved in the testing: 80300, 80301, 80302, 80303, 80304.
There was an article in Healthcare Business Monthly (http://news.aapc.com/drug-screening-gets-a-total-rewrite/) and you may find this link helpful too: http://www.medtox.com/Resources/Images/8632.pdf
