Interventional Cardiology Physician Specialty Code C3

Date: Dec 31, 2014

Question:

I have a doctor who is an interventional cardiologist, and he has recently asked me about his specialty being considered a separate specialty/sub-specialty of cardiology, which has been the case for EP. He states that he heard CMS has now officially recognized "Interventional Cardiology" as a separate specialty. He wants to know if this is true, and if so did it start in January 2014 or is it to begin in January 2015?
