L-Code changes for 2005

While scanning the Region C DMERC website for the 2005 updates, I read that
L-codes 5674, 5675, 5846, 5847, 5989 and 8490 would be deleted as of 1/1/2005.
I do not have my L-code information handy, but if my memory is correct,
aren't codes L5846, L5847, &L5989 the codes for the C-Leg knee and pylon? If my
memory is correct, then it appears that these services will no longer be
covered by CMS. There are some new codes listed as well (L5685, L5856, L5857,
L6694, L6698, L7181, & L8515), but there are no descriptions for them that I
could find.
Anyone have any explanations or additional information? If so, I am certain
the folks on this listserve would appreciate you sharing it with them. I
certainly would.
