CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) - Medical Procedure Codes
The Current Procedural Terminology® (CPT®) code set is maintained by the American Medical Association through the CPT Editorial Panel. The CPT code set accurately describes medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and is designed to communicate uniform information about medical services and procedures among physicians, coders, patients, accreditation organizations, and payers for administrative, financial, and analytical purposes.There are three types of CPT codes:
- Category I CPT Code(s)
- Category II CPT Code(s) - Performance Measurement
- Category III CPT Code(s) - Emerging Technology
CPT is a registered trademark of the American Medical Association. Although the CPT system is mandated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and HIPAA, and the data for it appears in the Federal Register, the American Medical Association (AMA) maintains that their copyright of the CPT.
