HCPCS in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, HCPCS codes are used to bill for medical services, procedures, and supplies, particularly for Medicare and Medicaid patients. The system includes two levels of codes: Level I (CPT codes) and Level II (used for products, supplies, and services not covered by CPT).
