HIPPA - Health Insurance Privacy & Portability Act = no influence on billing
This is actually HIPAA: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996.
ICD - International Classification of Diseases (has numbers corresponding to diagnoses and procedures, which then have several associated CPT codes for each "number"
CPT - Current Procedural Terminology (has the exact billing codes, and THIS is where the MONEY is, which accrues to healthcare professionals and organizations when properly billed)
HCPCS - Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System - is a system (not the CPTs, themselves).
So, proper CPT coding is essential for proper billing.
