Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding systems were not based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). HCPCS was developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to standardize the coding of medical equipment, supplies, and services, while CPT was developed by the American Medical Association to standardize the coding of medical procedures and services. However, all three coding systems (ICD, HCPCS, and CPT) are used together in healthcare billing and coding to accurately represent a patient's diagnosis and treatment.
