Procedure codes that are used to bill your client's insurance

Procedure codes used to bill insurance are CPT codes. They describe the exact services or procedures performed and are the standard framework insurers use to reimburse for medical and chiropractic services. CPT codes are submitted on claims to specify what was done, often with modifiers to indicate nuances in the service. ICD-10 codes, by contrast, are diagnosis codes that justify the need for the service but do not represent the procedure itself. Copayments and deductibles are patient cost-sharing amounts, not codes used for billing.
