Added the following new 2015 HCPCS codes: G6003, G6004, G6005, G6006, G6007, G6008, G6009, G6010, G6011, G6012, G6013, G6014. 08/27/2015: Code Reference section updated to add ICD-10 codes. SOURCE(S)Hayes Medical Technology Directory Blue Cross Blue Shield Association policies # 6.01.10 and # 8.01.10 This may not be a comprehensive list of procedure codes applicable to this policy. The code(s) listed below are ONLY medically necessary if the procedure is performed according to the "Policy" section of this document. Coding for SRS typically consists of a series of CPT codes describing the individual steps required: The codes used for treatment delivery will depend on the energy source used.
