The Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System is used to report hospital outpatient procedures and physician services including medical, surgical and diagnostic services.
This HCPCS Coding System Is Crucial For:
- Physician reimbursement
- Hospital payments
- Quality review
- Benchmarking measurement
Established in 1978, the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System was developed by the CMS to meet the needs of the federal Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement programs.
This standardized coding system has two levels:
- Level I consists of the American Medical Association’s Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and is numeric
- Level II codes are alphanumeric and primarily include non-physician services such as ambulance services and prosthetic devices, not covered by CPT-4 codes (Level I)
