&lt;p&gt;You will need to speak with your provider to see why they are labeling your procedure as diagnostic, as they are the ones who determine that. It would also be up to any other provider you see to determine how they would&amp;nbsp;bill their claim if you switched to them for your procedure. ~ KW&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
