Wiki Hip xrays denied for codes no longer valid

[cwilson3333]

All hip xrays that our office is submitting are being denied, stating no longer valid as of 1-1-2016
cpt 73500, 73510, 73520

are there new codes for 2016?

Definitely not aware of any of this???

Can someone share their knowledge on this?

Thank you
