Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 26 MAS 635 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Using CPT Codes Responsibly
Captions available
The idea
CPT codes describe what the provider did, and choosing them depends on the documentation.
In practice
Use the current year's code set in the practice's software or code book, because codes are added, revised and deleted over time.
Where people slip
Never choose a code because it pays more; code only what was documented.
