The corrections change the effective date of the additions and deletions to July 1, 2005. The previous effective date was July 5, 2005. They also added CPT 55873, cryosurgical ablation of the prostate including ultrasonic guidance for interstitial cryosurgical probe placement. The procedure has been added to Group 9.
