*Healthcare providers should code healthcare claims based upon the service that is rendered, the patient's medical record, the coding requirements of each health insurer, and best coding practices. Coding information provided under this heading does not provide a guarantee of reimbursement and should be considered together with all applicable coding guidance and standards.
