CPT codes

CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes are standardized alphanumeric codes used in the medical field to describe medical, surgical, and diagnostic services provided by healthcare professionals. In the context of education and administration, understanding CPT codes is crucial for accurate billing, reimbursement, and compliance with healthcare regulations, particularly for ultrasound procedures.

Proper use of CPT codes ensures that ultrasound examinations are correctly documented and reimbursed, facilitating efficient practice management and financial stability for medical facilities. Training in CPT coding is essential for sonographers and administrative staff to optimize revenue cycles and maintain accurate patient records in diagnostic ultrasound.
