Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System Chapter, Module, Veronica Mcgowan

Faculty Articles & Research

Like Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®), the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) is a code set for billing services and procedures. Unlike CPT, HCPCS is also used to bill supplies, products, durable medical equipment (DME), prosthetics, orthotics, outpatient hospital care, ambulance rides, and certain drugs and medicines provided to Medicare patients and private health insurance program beneficiaries. In general, users deploy HCPCS for services, procedures, and equipment not covered by CPT codes.

Current Procedural Terminology Chapter, Module, Veronica Mcgowan

Faculty Articles & Research

Current Procedural Terminology (CPT ® ) is a medical code set used for describing and reporting medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and procedures. Copyrighted and published by the American Medical Association (https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/cpt)since 1966 and updated yearly by the Performance Measures Advisory Group (PMAG), these codes foster better data collection so that performance measurement is facilitated, and are often used for accreditation purposes to explain results and practices. Originally developed as a method of communication between physicians and third-party payers and intended to be used for reimbursement, current applications include usage in: benchmarking activities (Garber, Ledonio, & Polly, 2015), risk prediction …

Introduction To Medical Coding, Introductory Module, Veronica F. Mcgowan

Faculty Articles & Research

In our increasingly global economy, manufacturers and distributers sending and receiving goods are frustrated by the reality of multiple languages. As an example of corporate coding, proactive management in an automotive company have invented a coding system where each car type has its own identification code with associated words that describe the product. Therefore, they can be confident that anyone referring to ID 4523 is describing a four-door vehicle (4000 level), compact vehicle (500), black color (20) with leather interior (3). This example is analogous to clinical or medical coding.

Healthier Dishes to Serve This Thanksgiving

This year, why not make Thanksgiving not only delicious but also a health-boosting experience that’s truer to the origins of the holiday? For most of us, our traditional Thanksgiving meal has shifted away from the natural foods enjoyed by the 17th-century celebrants. But it’s not that difficult to get back to preparing delicious food that is fresh from the harvest…and packed with nutrition.
