Code

Description

A

0061U

Transcutaneous measurement of five biomarkers (tissue oxygenation [StO₂], oxyhemoglobin [ctHbO₂], deoxyhemoglobin [ctHbR], papillary and reticular dermal hemoglobin concentrations [ctHb1 and ctHb2]), using spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) and multi-spectral analysis

B

0598T

Noncontact real-time fluorescence wound imaging, for bacterial presence, location, and load, per session; first anatomic site (e.g., lower extremity)

C

0599T

Noncontact real-time fluorescence wound imaging, for bacterial presence, location, and load, per session; each additional anatomic site (e.g., upper extremity)

D

0631T

Transcutaneous visible light hyperspectral imaging measurement of oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, and tissue oxygenation, with interpretation and report, per extremity

E

0640T

Non-contact near-infrared spectroscopy studies of flap or wound (for example, the measurement of deoxyhemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin, and ratio of tissue oxygenation (StO₂)); image acquisition, interpretation and report, each flap or wound

F

0641T

Non-contact near-infrared spectroscopy studies of flap or wound (for example, the measurement of deoxyhemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin, and ratio of tissue oxygenation (StO₂)); image acquisition only, each flap or wound

G

0642T

Non-contact near-infrared spectroscopy studies of flap or wound (for example, the measurement of deoxyhemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin, and ratio of tissue oxygenation (StO₂)); interpretation and report only, each flap or wound
