Read before using these numbers

Colorado does not print a time unit for these codes, so no hourly figure is shown. The two 97151 rows are plainly on different bases.
Only six ABA rows are covered. 97152, 97156, 97157, 0362T and 0373T are absent from the schedule, and the billing manual’s allowable-code list matches.
All six require prior authorization.
The billing manual lists allowable codes but publishes no dollar figures; the rates are only in the statewide fee schedule workbook.
