CPT is a proprietary coding system developed by the American Medical Association (AMA) for coding services provided by health care professionals. CPT is also referred to as HCPCS Level I. HCPCS (also referred to as HCPCS Level II) is a supplementary coding system developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to account for supplies and services not accounted for in CPT (HCPCS Level I). The procedure categories are identical to the <a href="/web/20140717094035/http://www.hcup-us.ahrq.gov/toolssoftware/ccs/ccs.jsp">CCS</a> with the addition of specific categories unique to the professional service and supply codes in CPT/HCPCS. CCS-Services and Procedures is current as of 2014 and can be used with any data that include CPT or HCPCS procedure information. <br><br> More than 9,000 CPT/HCPCS codes and 6,000 HCPCS codes are collapsed into 244 clinically meaningful categories that may be more useful for presenting descriptive statistics than are individual CPT or HCPCS codes. For example, CCS-Services and Procedures can be used to identify populations for procedure-specific studies or to develop statistical reports providing information (such as charges and length of stay) about relatively specific procedures. <br><br> For a list of CCS-Services and Procedures procedure categories, see <a href="#table1">Table 1.</a></div> </td></tr> <tr><td align="left" class="pagetext"><a href="#return">Return to Contents</a></td></tr> <tr><td> </td></tr> <tr><td> <div class="texttitle"><a name="info">Information about CPT and HCPCS Codes in the CCS-Services and Procedures</a></div><div class="pagetext"> <br> <em>The five-character codes included in the Clinical Classifications Software for Services and Procedures are obtained from the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®), copyright 2014 by the American Medical Association (AMA).

Many of the categories represent unique procedure types. Some procedures that occur infrequently are grouped according to body system. Body system categories are further delineated as diagnostic or therapeutic and whether they are considered operating room or non-operating room procedures, according to Diagnosis Related Groups definitions. <br><br> The CCS-Services and Procedures contains CPT codes valid at any time between January 1992 and January 2014 and HCPCS codes valid at any time between January 2002 and January 2014. <br><br> <u>Process for Assigning CCS Categories to CPT/HCPCS Codes </u> <br><br> Two certified clinical coding specialists assigned CPT/HCPCS codes to CCS categories. These assignments were then reviewed by AHRQ staff possessing clinical and administrative data experience. One clinical coding specialist identified the initial assignments, while the second provided assistance with decision making and overall review of the assignments made. <br><br> The following iterative process was used to assign CPT/HCPCS codes to CCS categories: <ul> <li>Each CPT/HCPCS code was entered into Encoder Pro Professional© (a software application from Ingenix, Inc.) </li> <li>The CPT/HCPCS Crosscoder within the software was used to identify any and all ICD-9-CM procedure codes that might be comparable to the CPT/HCPCS code. </li> <li>Each ICD-9-CM code in the original CCS software was analyzed, in order to understand how the ICD-9-CM codes had been assigned to CCS categories.</li> <li>If there were multiple CCS categories for the comparable ICD-9-CM codes, one that best fits the description of the CPT/HCPCS code was chosen. </li> <li>If there was not one best category, the second coding specialist was consulted to make the determination.</li> <li>Assignments were reviewed by AHRQ staff; questions about assignments were raised.</li> <li>CPT/HCPCS code assignments were reviewed by the coding specialists and reassignments were made. </li> <li>A final review was conducted by AHRQ staff.</li> </ul> <br> <u>Guidelines for Assigning CCS Categories to CPT/HCPCS Codes</u> <br><br> In the course of assigning CPT/HCPCS codes to CCS categories, a series of guidelines were developed to ensure consistent code assignments: <ul><li><strong>If the code included two OR procedures, the one that would result in the greatest morbidity, extent of surgery, or resource use took precedence. </strong></li> <br><br> <em>Examples:</em> <br><br> CPT 43305 Esophagoplasty (plastic repair or reconstruction), cervical approach; with repair of tracheoesophageal fistula. <br><br> <ul><em>Assigned to CCS category</em> <br><br> <ul>94    Other OR upper GI therapeutic procedures</ul></ul> <br> <ul><em>not</em> <br> <ul>42    Other OR therapeutic procedures on respiratory system and mediastinum </ul></ul> <br><br> <ul> <em>Because the repair of the esophagus would result in greater morbidity or resource use than the repair of the trachea fistula.</em></ul> </ul> <br> <ul>CPT 31294 Nasal/sinus endoscopy, surgical; with optic nerve decompression <br><br> <ul><em>Assigned to CCS category</em> <br><br> <ul>33    Other OR therapeutic procedures on nose, mouth and pharynx</ul></ul> <br> <ul><em>not</em> <br> <ul>9    Other OR therapeutic nervous system procedures</ul></ul> <br><br> <ul> <em>Because the decompression of the nerve is not as great as the surgical procedure to gain entry to the sinus cavity.</em></ul> </ul> <ul><li><strong>When a CPT/HCPCS code could be assigned to a more specific category or to a more general category, we opted for the most specific. </strong></li> <br><br> <em>Example:</em> <br><br> CPT 34451 Thrombectomy, direct or with catheter; vena cava, iliac, femoropopliteal vein, by abdominal and leg incision <br><br> <ul><em>Assigned to CCS category</em> <br><br> <ul>60    Embolectomy and endarterectomy of lower limbs</ul></ul> <br> <ul><em>not</em> <br> <ul>61    Other OR procedures on vessels other than head and neck</ul></ul> <br><br> <ul> <em>In a general sense, this procedure fits into CCS category 61; however, a more specific category is available for this procedure to remove a clot in the leg.</em></ul> </ul> <ul><li><strong>Codes were assigned to the body system associated with a physician´s specialty.</strong></li> <br><br> <em>Example:</em> <br><br> CPT 33282 Implantation of patient-activated cardiac event recorder <br><br> <ul><em>Assigned to CCS category</em> <br><br> <ul>62    Other diagnostic cardiovascular procedures</ul></ul> <br> <ul><em>not</em> <br> <ul>174    Other non-OR therapeutic procedures on skin and breast</ul></ul> <br><br> <ul> <em>Although the procedure itself includes an incision and dissection down to the subcutaneous tissue to implant the recorder, a cardiologist will most likely be performing this procedure. This categorization scheme enhances agreement in studies that compare inpatient (ICD) and ambulatory surgery (CPT) data.</em></ul> </ul> <ul><li><strong>If a CPT/HCPCS code contained both diagnostic and therapeutic components, and the applicable CCS categories were split between these two types of services, the therapeutic aspect took precedence. </strong></li> <br><br> <em>Examples:</em> <br><br> CPT 22830 Exploration of spinal fusion <br><br> <ul><em>Assigned to CCS category</em> <br><br> <ul>161    Other OR therapeutic procedures on bone</ul></ul> <br> <ul><em>not</em> <br> <ul>159    Other diagnostic procedures on musculoskeletal system</ul></ul> <br><br> <ul> <em>Although it may be diagnostic only, therapeutic repair is included in this code if defects are found and corrections are made.</em></ul> <br>CPT 29838 Arthroscopy, elbow, surgical; debridement, extensive <br><br> <ul><em>Assigned to CCS category</em> <br><br> <ul>162    Other OR therapeutic procedures on joints</ul></ul> <br> <ul><em>not</em> <br> <ul>149    Arthroscopy</ul></ul> <br><br> <ul> <em>Because CCS categories do not allow for multiple assignments, the arthroscopy category is for minor or diagnostic codes only, and this code includes a therapeutic debridement.</em></ul> </ul> <ul><li><strong>If there were both operating room (OR) and non-operating room components, the OR category was chosen.</strong></li> <br><br> <em>Examples:</em> <br><br> CPT 30110 Excision, nasal polyp(s), simple <br><br> <ul><em>Assigned to CCS category</em> <br><br> <ul>33    Other OR therapeutic procedures on nose, mouth and pharynx</ul></ul> <br> <ul><em>not</em> <br> <ul>32    Other non-OR therapeutic procedures on nose, mouth and pharynx</ul></ul> <br><br> <ul> <em>Although this is generally performed in the office, it is done in OR as well (e.g., with children or if the polyp is large). However, it is still done with a local anesthetic and may require packing during the first 24 hours.</em></ul> <br> CPT 50392 Introduction of intracatheter or catheter into renal pelvis for drainage and/or injection, percutaneous <br><br> <ul><em>Assigned to CCS category</em> <br><br> <ul>112    Other OR therapeutic procedures of urinary tract</ul></ul> <br> <ul><em>not</em> <br> <ul>111    Other non-OR therapeutic procedures of urinary tract</ul></ul> <br><br> <ul> <em>This would be an OR procedure because the physician uses radiological guidance to advance the needle toward the renal pelvis.</em></ul> </ul> <ul><li><strong>If a CPT/HCPCS code included the phrase "with or without" a specific additional procedure, the code was mapped to the more general category rather than the specific category in order to reduce erroneous categorization of those records that did not include the additional procedure.</strong></li> <br><br> <em>Example:</em> <br><br> CPT 54300 Plastic operation of penis for straightening of chordee (e.g., hypospadias), with or without mobilization of urethra <br><br> <ul><em>Assigned to CCS category</em> <br><br> <ul>118    Other OR therapeutic procedures, male genital</ul></ul> <br> <ul><em>not</em> <br> <ul>109    Procedures on the urethra</ul></ul> <br><br> <ul> <em>The male genital category is chosen because the urethra procedure may or may not take place.</em></ul> </ul> <u>New CCS Categories</u> <br><br> The following new CCS categories were added to effectively represent codes specific to CPT and HCPCS. <table width="75%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="4"> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="pagetext">232</td> <td class="pagetext">Anesthesia</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="pagetext">233</td> <td class="pagetext">Laboratory - Chemistry and Hematology</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="pagetext">234</td> <td class="pagetext">Pathology</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="pagetext">235</td> <td class="pagetext">Other Lab</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="pagetext">236</td> <td class="pagetext">Home Health Services</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="pagetext">237</td> <td class="pagetext">Ancillary Services</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="pagetext">238</td> <td class="pagetext">Infertility Services</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="pagetext">239</td> <td class="pagetext">Transportation - patient, provider, equipment</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="pagetext">240</td> <td class="pagetext">Medications (Injections, infusions and other forms)</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="pagetext">241</td> <td class="pagetext">Visual aids and other optical supplies</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="pagetext">242</td> <td class="pagetext">Hearing devices and audiology supplies</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="pagetext">243</td> <td class="pagetext">DME and supplies</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td class="pagetext">244</td> <td class="pagetext">Gastric bypass and volume reduction</td> </tr> </table> <br><br> <ol> <li><u>232 Anesthesia:</u> To capture the increased resource use of anesthesia administered by an anesthesiologist or surgeon.
