Subject: Potentially Misvalued Codes: CPT 22551 + Implant Add-on Codes

Good afternoon:

On behalf of LifeNet Health, please find the attached letter from Bud Brame, LifeNet Vice-President of Strategic Product Planning and Reimbursement Services, which is intended to serve as a public nomination of CPT 22551 with related add-on codes when an implant is used as part of the underlying procedure as potentially misvalued services.

If any additional information would be useful, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best-
Bob Jasak
