CPT vs ICD-10-CM vs HCPCS Level II — What’s the Difference? | Medical Billing Made Easy \ Video-5

CPT, ICD-10-CM, and HCPCS Level II can look confusing when you first see them on a medical claim. But they each have a different job. In this short and practical US Healthcare RCM training video, we bring these three code sets together and explain the difference in a simple way. You’ll learn: • What ICD-10-CM tells you about the patient’s diagnosis, condition, symptom, or reason for care • What CPT tells you about the medical service or procedure performed • What HCPCS Level II is used to report, including products, supplies, equipment, certain drugs, and certain services • Why CPT is considered HCPCS Level I • How HCPCS Level II differs from CPT • How to recognize the basic difference between numeric CPT codes and commonly alphanumeric HCPCS Level II codes • Why the first letter of a HCPCS Level II code is only a starting clue • Why you should always check the complete code description and applicable coding rules The easiest memory trick is: ICD-10-CM → WHY? CPT → WHAT WAS DONE? HCPCS Level II → WHAT ITEM OR OTHER SERVICE? For example, we’ll connect a diagnosis such as M54.50 with the service reported on the claim and show where HCPCS Level II fits into the bigger picture.
