CPT 82541 has been deleted. For a quantitative chromatography procedure with mass spectrometry that only detects a single specific analyte, use the appropriate specific analyte code, if applicable, or CPT code 82542

CPT 82543 stable isotope dilution, single analyte, quantitative, single stationary and mobile phase. 

CPT 82543 has been deleted. For a quantitative chromatography procedure with mass spectrometry that only detects a single specific analyte, use the appropriate specific analyte code, if applicable, or CPT code 82542

CPT 82544 stable isotope dilution, multiple analytes, quantitative, single stationary and mobile phase. CPT 82544 has been deleted. For a quantitative chromatography procedure with mass spectrometry that detects more than one analyte, use a single specific code that represents all of the analytes, if applicable, or one unit of CPT code 82542 for all of the analytes

CPT 83788 Mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry (MS, MS/MS), analyte not elsewhere specified; qualitative, each specimen. 

CPT 83788 has been deleted. For a qualitative mass spectrometry or tandem mass spectrometry procedure, use the specific analyte code, if available, or CPT 83789

CPT 88347 Immunofluorescent study, each antibody; indirect method. CPT 88347 has been deleted. To report, see CPT 88346, CPT 88350
