I think the 2015 HCPCS manual will have everything you need. However one of the best resources you have is to go directly to the payer itself and ask them about the codes. I did a Google search and got UHC, BCBS and a CMS.gov with white papers on changes. You already know the changes though.

I believe these codes though are preventative information codes.

Thank you for your reply. I have found that they are related to measures in the PQRS for 2015.
