FAQs
What is CPT coding, and why is it important in healthcare?
CPT coding, or Current Procedural Terminology coding, is a standardized system used to describe medical services and procedures performed by healthcare providers. It is crucial in healthcare because it helps ensure accurate documentation, billing, and reimbursement for medical services. CPT codes provide a common language for healthcare providers, insurers, and regulators, facilitating transparency and consistency in healthcare billing and claims processing.
What are the key differences between CPT and ICD-10 coding?
CPT codes describe medical procedures and services, while ICD-10 codes classify diseases, conditions, and diagnoses. CPT codes are used for billing and reporting medical services, while ICD-10 codes support patient care by documenting the reason for a service or procedure. Both code sets work together to provide a comprehensive picture of patient encounters.
