CPT/HCPCS codes are used to bill what types of items?

• A. Procedures and supplies
• B. Diagnoses only
• C. Medical devices only
• D. Administrative services

Answer: (A)

CPT/HCPCS codes are used to bill procedures and supplies. CPT codes describe the medical procedures and clinician services performed, such as surgeries, office visits, imaging, and anesthesia. HCPCS Level II codes extend billing to items like durable medical equipment, prosthetics and orthotics, disposable supplies, drugs, and certain services not covered by CPT alone. Diagnoses are coded with ICD-10-CM, not CPT/HCPCS, and administrative services aren’t items billed with these codes. So the best fit is procedures and supplies.
