CPT

CPT, or Current Procedural Terminology, is a set of standardized codes created by medical professionals to accurately describe and document medical procedures and services. These codes are used by healthcare providers and insurance companies to communicate, bill, and track different types of medical care, such as exams, surgeries, or treatments. Think of CPT codes as a universal language for healthcare procedures, ensuring clear understanding and efficient processing across the medical system. They help ensure that patients get the appropriate care and that providers are properly reimbursed for their services.
