Jan. 14, 2025

As of April 14, 2025, we will revise Clinical Payment and Coding Policy CPCP018, Revenue Codes Requiring Supporting CPT, HCPCS and/or NDC Codes − Outpatient Facility Claims. 

CPCP018 addresses revenue coding that requires supporting Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes from the American Medical Association, Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System codes from the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services and National Drug Codes for outpatient facility claims.

Changes to CPCP018 include updates to bill types. For more details, refer to the revised policy here.
