CPT (Current Procedural Terminology)

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) is a standardized coding system used by healthcare professionals to describe medical, surgical, and diagnostic services. Developed by the American Medical Association, CPT codes efficiently communicate the specific procedures or services provided during patient visits. This coding helps ensure accurate billing and reporting for insurance companies, enabling better tracking of healthcare delivery. By providing a uniform language, CPT supports consistent record-keeping, facilitates healthcare research, and enhances the overall efficiency of medical services.
