PROCEDURE codes are required for documentation and submission of health care claims delivered by providers within the United States of America. CPT codes are maintained by the American Medical Association and are considered to be LEVEL I HealthCare Procedure codes. The structure of the CPT codes includes three main sections and may be accessed in Flash Code by clicking on any of the corresponding section icons. This is where the final code selection is made as each code contains a full description plus supportive information to assist with the selection process. In addition to the numerical listing of codes, there are two accessory tables. -The Alphabetical index (INDEX) links other terms to their related procedure as listed in the CODES section. -The Coding Guidelines (GUIDE) includes AMA specific information for each section of the CPT codes that provides assistance and examples on best coding practices and use of modifiers. The guidelines also include a listing of ALL LEVEL I and LEVEL II modifiers, plus the list of Place of Service codes. More information for each of these sections may be accessed by clicking on the subtopic links seen to the left.
