CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) Codes

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes are a standardized set of numeric codes used in the healthcare system to describe medical, surgical, and diagnostic procedures and services. Developed by the American Medical Association, these codes help ensure that healthcare providers, insurers, and regulators understand and communicate about medical services accurately. Each code corresponds to a specific procedure or service, making billing and insurance claims more efficient. Essentially, CPT codes serve as a universal language for healthcare professionals, facilitating clearer communication regarding patient care.
