A best practice when reporting a service using a new Category III CPT code can be to use the freeform field (box 19) of the claim form to list the identified comparison CPT code, including its 2026, geographically adjusted Medicare RVUs and allowed amount. This may be useful in helping the health plan to understand how you came up with your charge for the Vanquish procedure. For example, “0582T (Vanquish procedure Category III CPT code) comparable to XXXXX (identified comparator CPT code), requested payment amount $XXX. XX.” It is important to remember health plans will make their own payment determinations for Category III CPT codes. Contact the health plan for specific billing instructions.
