The CPT code 72083 is subject to reimbursement by Medicare, but whether it is reimbursed can depend on several factors, including the specific Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) policies and the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS).
The MPFS provides a list of services and their corresponding reimbursement rates, which are updated annually. Each MAC, which administers Medicare claims for a specific region, may have additional guidelines or requirements that impact reimbursement.
Therefore, it is essential for healthcare providers to verify the reimbursement status of CPT code 72083 with their local MAC and consult the latest MPFS to ensure compliance and proper billing practices.
