I don't believe CPT's resequencing initative altered any codes that are used for EDX studies. Here is a short summary in case members encounter it in other aspects of their practice.
Instead of deleting and renumbering codes in order to display related codes together, resequencing allows adjacent placement of related concepts in the codebook regardless of the availability of code numbers for numerical placement. This change allows for greater code continuity over time and creates more options for future growth and flexibility of content.
Resequenced codes are noted with a # symbol in their new, out-of-sequence location. References have been placed numerically throughout the codebook at codes' previous locations that direct users to the out-of-sequence code. Appendix N also contains a list of resequenced codes.
