Q Code in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, Q codes are used for services, supplies, and procedures that do not yet have permanent CPT or HCPCS codes. These codes are often used for experimental or emerging medical services and are temporary until permanent codes are assigned.
For example, a provider bills Medicare using a Q code for a new type of medical device used in a procedure.
