HCFA Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS), 1992. Alpha-Numeric Codes Table of Drugs and Index

摘要

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 alpha-numeric (national) codes supplement CPT-4 codes and contain physician services not included in CPT-4, and nonphysician services such as ambulance, audiology, physical therapy, speech pathology and vision care, and such supplies as drugs, durable medical equipment, orthotics, prosthetics, and other medical and surgical supplies.
