Because of this, the 5010 special information requirement that applies to non-specific codes would not apply to CPT codes 00100 through 01996. CPT code 01999 “unlisted anesthesia procedures” does meet the definition of a non-specific code and requires additional information in the SV101-7 segment.
CMS advises that any data submitted in SV101-7 will satisfy the edit for Medicare claims until the edit revisions have been made.
