Answer: E - A 2017 change to the code added 97172 to replace 97006 (Athletic training re-evaluation). The new code goes into greater detail about the scope of the evaluation and the degree of complexity involved.
97172 is "Re-evaluation of athletic training established plan of care requiring these components: An assessment of patient's current functional status when there is a documented change."
97006 is the correct code for athletic training re-evaluation.
Codes 97001 and 97002 are both incorrect because these codes refer to physical therapy evaluations. Code 97005 is incorrect because this code is for the initial athletic training evaluation.
Code 97001 was replaced by the following codes: 97161 (low complexity), 97162 (moderate) or 97163 (high complexity).
