Please post initial responses and peer responses to the following discussion questions listed below:
CPT coding is only one portion of a two-part coding system called HCPCS (pronounced “hick-picks”), which stands for Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System. What is included in HCPCS? More than 50 alphabetical modifiers are available for assignment, to add further specificity to the five-digit national code. CPT and HCPCS modifiers are used with both HCPCS and CPT codes. What are some examples of how modifiers can be used? (Tips: Modifiers can be used to specify the service provider, the anatomic site, etc.)
A coder going through medical documentation finds that only the brand names of drugs are listed. What course of action should he or she take to ensure assignment of the proper HCPCS code? (Tips: J codes are reported to identify the drugs administered and the dosages, think about using a drug reference book.)
