Appropriate CPT Codes Effective for PET Scans for Services Performed on

60.3.1 - Appropriate CPT Codes Effective for PET Scans for Services Performed on or After January 28, 2005 (Rev.10881; Issued: 08-06-2021; Effective: 09-07-2021; Implementation: 09-07- 2021) NOTE: All PET scan services require the use of a radiopharmaceutical diagnostic imaging agent (tracer). The applicable tracer code should be billed when billing for a PET scan service. See section 60.3.2 below for applicable tracer codes.
