2005 Drug Administration Coding Revisions
This one time notification provides clarification on the 2005 drug administration coding revisions. In the final physician fee schedule rule published in the Federal Register on November 15, 2004, we announced that we would adopt G-codes for 2005 that correspond to the new CPT drug administration codes that will become effective in 2006. The new G-codes are interim until 2006. While we are adopting the G-codes, we are also adopting, in 2005, the CPT coding rules that will not officially appear until the CPT 2006 is published.
