What are HCPC codes?

Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS, pronounced as “hick-picks”) presents the procedure/service codes reference developed by CMS. HCPCS furnishes health care providers and suppliers with a standardized language for reporting processional services procedures, supplies, and equipment not included in CPT. These HCPCS codes are also five characters in length but begin with the letters A – V followed by four numbers. Most state Medicaid programs also use HCPCS.
