Effective for dates of service on and after July 1, 2019, the following CDT codes require prior authorization: D2390, D2929, D2930, and D2933.

HCA added two new expedited prior authorization (EPA) codes, 870001347 and 870001348, which providers may use when the client meets the specific EPA criteria.
