The four primary levels of the code are Segment, Family, Class and Commodity.

What is HCPCS coding?

HCPCS is an acronym for Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System. The accurate HCPCS code plays an important role in patient access to new or existing technologies and reimbursement strategy.

HCPCS codes are known as Level II codes, because they are additional codes created to supplement and help further define procedure codes.  HCPCS codes cover some procedures that aren’t defined within the CPT-4 structure, but mainly covers supplies, pharmaceuticals, dental and other services that aren’t considered procedures, yet are an integral part of health care billing.  HCPCS codes are five-digit codes, but the first digit is an alpha character.

Below is an Example of HCPCS code:
