I have a question regarding these K codes and L codes.

I thought there was some sort of price protection in the L codes. I had
thought there was a law passed by congress preventing the Medicare providers
from adjusting excessively downward the price of an L code. I had thought the
limit was in the range of 5-8 %.

If the above is true, eliminating the code and issuing new k codes at a
significant discount, would be a de facto excessive adjustment.

I would think this would be litigable matter.

I may be mistaken. Does anyone know?
