The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) is a coding system that describes physician and nonphysician services and supplies. It is used by the Medicare and Medicaid programs in their claims processing systems to screen billed services. HCPCS includes CPT-4 (Current Procedural Terminology, Fourth Edition) codes, national alpha-numeric codes, and local codes. The index lists services, supplies, and other items in alpha-numeric order.
