In the index of the CPT manual, a semicolon (;) between codes indicates that there are two codes related to the entry. The first code represents a more general descriptor, while the second code provides a more specific description of a procedure or service. This punctuation helps to clarify the relationship between the codes for accurate reporting and billing.
The typeface used for ICD-10-CM main term entries in the Alphabetic Index, as well as all codes and descriptions of codes in the Tabular List, is typically a bold typeface. This distinction helps to clearly identify the main terms and codes for better readability and organization within the coding manual.
A dash (-) in the CPT index indicates a range of available codes.
