General Correct Coding Policies
A. Introduction
Healthcare providers utilize HCPCS/CPT codes to report medical services performed on patients to Medicare Carriers (A/B MACs processing practitioner service claims) and Fiscal Intermediaries (FIs). HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) consists of Level I CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes and Level II codes. CPT codes are defined in the American Medical Association’s (AMA’s) CPT Manual which is updated and published annually. HCPCS Level II codes are defined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and are updated throughout the year as necessary. Changes in CPT codes are approved by the AMA CPT Editorial Panel which meets three times per year.
