    That's why I find CPT harder to code.

    Wiki Tobacco Use Vs Tobacco Dependence - Can anyone explain

    I'm gonna add to this discussion. What would you code if only use was documented. No mention of abuse or dependence? Thats where the Z code is used.

    Wiki Deaf and Hard of Hearing Interpreter

    I agree. The patient should ALWAYS be able to "speak" for them selves if and when they can.

    Wiki CPT code for arm sling

    I think, I might be wrong, but it's more of a DME code so that would be more likely in the HCPCS book.

    Can't you use the New X{EPSU} codes?

    Wiki Xu verses xs modifiers/ spinal coding

    XU is the more accurate in this case, UNLESS the CPT code has say an "Each additional level" code indented under it.
