    Describing CPT Coding Categories CPT stands for Current Procedural Terminology.

    CPT coding is divided into three categories; I, II, and III. These codes can be used by any physician or other medical health care providers. A great buzz word for category I would be numerous. I chose this buzzword because it has a lot of codes which include five digits. Category I have the most numbers and do not include decimals. Services that are in category I include: 1) Evaluation and Management 2) Anesthesia 3) Surgery 4) Pathology and Laboratory 5) Radiology 6) Medicine One example of Category I would be: 99204 Office visit for evaluation and management of a new patient. Category II codes track the performance measures for medical goals. A great buzzword for category II would be optional because these goals are optional and are not paid for my any insurance companies. These have alphabetical character as their 5th digit which include; 0002F Tobacco use, smoking, assessed 0004F Tobacco use cessation intervention, counseling Lastly you have category III, category III is temporary codes that emerge technology procedures and technology services. These codes also have alphabetic characters for the 5th digit. I think a great buzzword for category III would be temps, because they are only temporary procedures. Temporary codes may become permanent part of the regular code if services identifies proves effective and widely performed. Alphabetic characters for 5th digit include the following; Ex: 0041T Urinalysis infections agent detection. Ex: 0001T Endovascular repairs of infrared abdominal aortic aneurysm or dissection.
