CPT®↔ HCPCS Crosswalk

The CPT®↔ HCPCS Crosswalk is a valuable tool for medical coders and billers. It allows them to easily convert between Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes. This crosswalk is available with a subscription to Basic Coder, Pro Fee, or Complete Coder from the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC).

CPT® codes are used to report medical procedures and services performed by healthcare providers. These codes are maintained by the American Medical Association (AMA) and are updated annually. HCPCS codes, on the other hand, are used to report supplies, equipment, and services not covered by CPT® codes. These codes are maintained by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and are updated quarterly.

With the CPT®↔ HCPCS Crosswalk, coders and billers can easily find the corresponding HCPCS code for a given CPT® code, or vice versa. This saves time and reduces the risk of coding errors. It also helps ensure accurate and timely reimbursement for healthcare services.

To access the CPT®↔ HCPCS Crosswalk, simply log in to your Basic Coder, Pro Fee, or Complete Coder subscription on the AAPC website. From there, you can search for a specific CPT® or HCPCS code, or browse through the crosswalk to find the code you need.

In addition to the crosswalk, AAPC also offers a variety of other resources to help with medical coding and billing. These include coding books, online training courses, and certification exams. With a subscription to Basic Coder, Pro Fee, or Complete Coder, you can access all of these resources and more.

In conclusion, the CPT®↔ HCPCS Crosswalk is an essential tool for medical coders and billers. It simplifies the process of converting between CPT® and HCPCS codes, saving time and reducing errors. To access this crosswalk and other helpful resources, consider subscribing to Basic Coder, Pro Fee, or Complete Coder from AAPC.
