Correct
The Current Procedural Terminology Manual (CPT) ✔✔The CPT manual is organized according
to three categories of codes.
Category I: Five-digit codes with descriptions arranged by sections within the tabular list of the
CPT manual
Category II: A set of supplemental or optional codes used to track performance measurement
Category III: Temporary codes for emerging and new technology, procedures, and services that
are not officially included in the tabular list of the CPT manual
CPT Tabular List Sections ✔✔The six sections and their code ranges in the tabular list include:
Evaluation and Management (99201-99499)
Anesthesia (00100-01999, 99100-99140)
Surgery (10021-69990)
Radiology, including nuclear medicine and diagnostic ultrasound (70010-79999)
Pathology and Laboratory (80047-89398)
Medicine, except Anesthesiology (90281-99607)
Each level of a section provides more specificity about the procedure or service performed and
the anatomic site or organ system involved.
The tabular index is organized so that each level of a section provides more specificity about the
procedure or service performed and the anatomic site or organ system involved.
Purpose of CPT ✔✔The alphabetic index acts as a guide to finding data within the textbook.
What is CPT Manual based on? ✔✔The alphabetic index is based on main terms such as an
anatomic site or diagnosis.
Basic Steps for Coding ✔✔Read, analyze, and abstract the procedure or service present in the
health record.
Compare it with the encounter form, operative report, or other documentation.
Review the guidelines, notes, and conventions in the tabular list to ensure that the code selected
is most accurate.
Abstract ✔✔to collect pertinent medical information to make an informed decision on assigning
a correct code. This process ensures that all medical procedures or services present in the
medical record are identified without any omission. Further, abstracted data has sections such as
main terms and subterms (also known as modifying terms). These terms help to find the code or
code ranges in the alphabetical index.
Main Terms ✔✔the primary procedure or procedure performed such as an excision
Sub Terms ✔✔further defines or adds information to the main term such as the anatomic
location or the organ excised, the type of instrument used, a special technique, or whether or not
other procedures were performed at the same time as the excision, such as obtaining biopsy
tissue for examination
Using the Alphabetical Index ✔✔Abstract the procedures from the medical documentation and
determine the main and modifying terms.
Select the most appropriate main term.
Select one or more modifying terms, if needed to narrow the search.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 using a different main term, if no main or modifying term produces an
appropriate code or code range.
Find the code or code ranges that include the desc
