Only one unit should be reported per date of service for the CPT codes listed in the link below. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) adheres to CPT guidelines for the proper usage of these CPT codes. Unless there are extenuating circumstances documented in your office notes — for example, multiple visits on the same day — we will only allow one unit per date of service for these codes. As of February 1, 2010 our claims system will be enhanced to include logic to adjudicate these CPT codes to allow only one unit per day.
