Question
which of the following is a set of codes used to report the treatment a patient receives?
icd - 10 - cm
current procedural terminology (cpt)
evaluation and management (e/m) codes
modifier
Brief Explanations
- ICD - 10 - CM is used for diagnosing diseases, not reporting treatment.
- Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes are specifically for reporting medical, surgical, and diagnostic procedures (treatments) a patient receives.
- Evaluation and Management (E/M) codes are a subset within CPT related to patient encounters (like office visits) but CPT as a whole is the set for reporting all treatments.
- Modifiers are used to modify CPT codes (e.g., to indicate a service was bilateral) but are not the set of codes for reporting treatment themselves.
