00567 is the correct code for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with pump oxygenator. Code 99116 is the correct add-on code for anesthesia complicated by the utilization of total body hypothermia.
Code 00566 is incorrect because this code is for CABG without pump oxygenator. Code 99135 is an incorrect add-on code because this is the code for anesthesia complicated by the utilization of controlled hypotension.
