CPT Knowledgebase - Oct 5, 2022

In the 2022 CPT code book, there are conflicting parenthetical notes for CPT codes 58548 and 38900. Could you please advise if it would be appropriate to use 38900 in conjunction with 58548? The parenthetical note under CPT 58548 states not to use in conjunction with 38570-38572, 58210, 58285, 58550-58554 (nothing about 38900). The parenthetical note under 38900 lists several codes it may be reported in conjunction with but does not include 58548 as one of the codes.
