Charges & Billing · Procedure Information
HCPCS Codes #
HCPCS codes identify certain products, supplies, services, and procedures used in billing. Review the actual underlying code rather than relying only on a local Quick Code or description.
What to do #
- Select the correct patient/case and charge context.
- Choose the intended procedure or service.
- Review the actual HCPCS code and description.
- Confirm units, fee, modifiers, place of service, and diagnosis pointers as applicable.
- Save only after the complete line is reviewed.
Verify before you finish #
- The actual code matches the intended service.
- A local alias has not been mistaken for the transmitted code.
- Modifiers and units are appropriate for the line.
Important
Code selection should follow current coding and payer requirements. Phoenix does not determine medical necessity merely because a code can be selected.
