CPT® Code

CPT® (Current Procedural Terminology) Codes are numbers assigned to every service a medical practitioner may provide to a patient, including medical, surgical and diagnostic services. CPT Codes are used by Insurers to determine the amount of reimbursement that a practitioner will receive from an Insurer.

The CPT Code dictionary is shared across the Enterprise.
