Service Identification: Procedure codes are standardized codes that describe medical, surgical, and diagnostic services. They communicate to the insurance company what specific services were provided, making it clearer what the provider is billing for.
​

Rate Determination: Insurance companies use these codes to determine the amount of reimbursement for the services rendered. Each code corresponds to a predetermined rate, which helps in automating the billing and reimbursement process.
​

Claim Processing: Accurate use of procedure codes facilitates faster and more accurate claim processing. Insurance companies rely on these codes to assess and approve claims, reducing the likelihood of errors and disputes.
​

Efficiency: Proper use of procedure codes helps streamline the entire billing process, from service delivery to payment, by reducing manual inputs and the potential for human error in claims submissions.
