My document provides an overview and detailed explanations of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding, focusing on its usage in outpatient services and physician offices. It covers key concepts such as the types of CPT codes, including Category I, II, and III, as well as modifiers and their application. Additionally, it discusses the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) and its role alongside CPT. The document also touches on HIPAA regulations, the structure of CPT codes, and important coding guidelines such as unbundling and the surgical package. It serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the fundamentals of medical coding using CPT.
