Setting Up More Than One Exception per CPT4 Code

If you have a CPT4 code that requires more than one exception, you must first set up a new contract exception with a unique name for each instance of the exception. To set up more than one exception per CPT4 code, you must set up a new contract exception using a different contract exception name for each exception with the same CPT4 code.
