CPT Codes

CPT codes, or Current Procedural Terminology codes, are a set of numeric codes used by healthcare professionals to describe medical, surgical, and diagnostic services. Each code corresponds to a specific procedure or service, making it easier for providers to communicate about treatments for billing and insurance purposes. For example, when you have a medical procedure done, the healthcare provider uses a CPT code to report what was done, helping insurance companies determine coverage and reimbursement. Essentially, these codes serve as a standardized way to document and categorize healthcare services.
