Welcome to this comprehensive guide to CPT Codes here you will find everything you need to know. I have mentioned 225+ CPT codes in a single page so don’t forget to read the codes and it’s definitions.

CPT Codes

 

What is CPT Code?

CPT stands for Current Procedural Terminology. They are a set of numeric codes. And developed and maintained by an association called American Medical Association (AMA). 

They are used to describe medical procedures, services, and tests performed by healthcare providers.

As we know the CPT codes are an integral part of the healthcare billing and reimbursement process. They provide a standardized way to communicate and document medical procedures for various purposes, for example, 

  • insurance claims
  • reimbursement negotiations
  • Research
  • data analysis.

Each CPT code represents a specific medical procedure or service. 

Here I have mentioned the five digits long and are organized into three main categories:

Categories of CPT Codes

 

1: Evaluation and Management (E/M)

These codes cover services related to patient assessment, examination, and management, for example

  • office visits
  • hospital visits
  • consultations.

2: Procedures

This category includes codes for surgical and non-surgical procedures, ranging from minor interventions to complex surgeries. Examples include biopsies, endoscopies, joint injections, and more.

 

3: Ancillary Services

Ancillary services encompass diagnostic tests, laboratory procedures, radiology services, and other ancillary procedures. This category includes codes for services like X-rays, blood tests, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and more.

 

CPT codes are regularly updated and revised by the AMA to reflect advancements in medical technology, changes in medical practices, and emerging procedures. 

It is important for healthcare providers, medical coders, and billers to stay up-to-date with the latest CPT code changes to ensure accurate coding and billing.

 

What is CPT in ophthalmology?

As I mentioned CPT codes are a set of medical billing codes. The CPT codes assigned to ophthalmic procedures provide a standardized way to communicate the details of the services rendered, facilitating accurate billing, insurance claims, and reimbursement. 

Did you know?

The AMA regularly updates these codes to reflect advancements in medical technology and changes in healthcare practices? 

Ophthalmologists and billing staff should need to stay updated on the latest CPT codes to ensure proper documentation and coding of services provided.

 

What is the OCT CPT code for ophthalmology?

In ophthalmology, the most commonly used CPT code for Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is 92133. 

This code is used to bill for spectral domain OCT imaging of the posterior segment of the eye, including the optic nerve and retina.

 

What are CPT guidelines?

These guidelines provide information on how to correctly use and report CPT codes for various medical procedures and services. 

They offer guidance on code selection, documentation requirements, modifier usage, bundling, and unbundling rules, and other important considerations for accurate coding and billing.

 

What is CPT code 99202?

CPT code 99202 represents “Office or other outpatient visits for the evaluation and management of a new patient, which requires a medically appropriate history and/or examination and straightforward medical decision making.” 

It is commonly used to report an initial evaluation and management (E/M) service for a new patient in an office or outpatient setting.

What are 3 CPT codes?

Three examples of CPT codes are

CPT code 99213: Office or other outpatient visits for the evaluation and management of an established patient, typically requiring a moderate level of history, examination, and medical decision-making.

CPT code 36415: Routine venipuncture for blood collection.

CPT code 71010: Radiologic examination, chest, two views (e.g., PA and lateral).

What are CPT-4 codes?

CPT-4 codes (Current Procedural Terminology, Fourth Edition) is the previous name of the CPT code set. 

It refers to the fourth edition of the CPT code set published by the American Medical Association (AMA). 

The term “CPT-4” is sometimes used interchangeably with “CPT” to denote the current edition of the CPT code set.

 

What is the ICD-10 code?

ICD-10 code refers to the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10). 

It is a standardized system of alphanumeric codes used for classifying and reporting medical diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures. ICD-10 codes are used globally for accurate documentation, billing, and statistical purposes in healthcare.

 

What does ICD stand for?

ICD stands for the International Classification of Diseases. It is a comprehensive system developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for classifying and coding diseases, symptoms, abnormal findings, external causes of injury or diseases, and other health-related conditions.

 

Who uses CPT codes?

CPT codes are primarily used by healthcare providers, medical coders, and billing professionals to accurately describe and bill for medical procedures and services. 

Insurance companies, including Medicare and private health insurers, also use CPT codes to process claims, determine reimbursement, and track utilization.

 

What is the full form of the CPT code?

CPT stands for Current Procedural Terminology. 

 

What is the difference between CPT and ICD codes?

CPT codes (Current Procedural Terminology) are used to describe and report medical procedures and services provided to patients. 

They primarily focus on the procedural and technical aspects of healthcare.

ICD codes (International Classification of Diseases) are used to classify and code diagnoses, symptoms, and medical conditions. 

They provide a standardized way to document and track diseases, injuries, and health-related issues.

In summary, CPT codes describe what procedures were performed, while ICD codes describe why those procedures were performed or the diagnosis associated with the patient’s condition.

What is a CPT code example?

An example of a CPT code is

CPT code 99214: Office or other outpatient visits for the evaluation and management of an established patient, typically requiring a detailed level of history, examination, and medical decision-making.

 

How many CPT codes are there?

The CPT code set contains thousands of individual codes. The exact number can vary as new codes are added and existing codes are updated or retired with each annual release by the American Medical Association (AMA). 

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, there are several thousand CPT codes available.

 

How many types of CPT are there?

There are three main categories or types of CPT codes:

Category I: These are the most common and widely used codes that represent a broad range of procedures and services, including surgeries, office visits, diagnostic tests, and more.

 

Category II: These codes are optional and used for performance measurement and tracking specific healthcare services or clinical activities.

 

Category III: These codes are temporary and used to track emerging technologies, procedures, and services that require further evaluation and research.

 

What is billing by CPT code?

Billing by CPT code refers to the process of using specific CPT codes to accurately document and bill for medical procedures and services provided to patients. 

Healthcare providers assign the appropriate CPT codes to the services rendered, and these codes are used for billing purposes to seek reimbursement from insurance companies or other payers. 

What does CPT code 92012 mean?
