We have learned a lot of important information this week regarding the format and use of the HCPCS Level II code set. Similar to the CPT code set, it is essential that new coders begin looking for their code in the Alphabetic and Tabular indexes. We have also determined that there are several occasions when HCPCS codes may be used when coding part of a patient encounter. Explore your ability to distinguish the various sections and symbols that make up the HCPCS code set. Include the following aspects in the discussion: - Choose one HCPCS section (i.e. Diagnostic Radiology Services, R0000-R0076) that interests you - Discuss what this set of codes is used for - Choose two code examples - Provide the full description of each of the two HCPCS codes - Discuss why the Alphabetic Index must be consulted prior to the Tabular Index for code assignment. Please note that there are thousands of codes and combinations. Do not choose the same code as your peers.
