Initially, facilities voluntarily used HCPCS codes, but with the implementation of HIPAA in 1996, facilities began to report HCPCS for transaction codes. HCPCS has its own coding guidelines and works hand in hand with CPT. HCPCS includes three separate levels of codes:Level I codes consist of the AMAâ„¢s CPT codes and is numeric.Level II codes are the HCPCS alphanumeric code set and primarily include non-physician products, supplies, and procedures not included in CPT.Level III codes, also called HCPCS local codes, were developed by state Medicaid agencies, Medicare contractors, and private insurers for use in specific programs and jurisdictions. These are still included in the HCPCS reference coding book. Some payers prefer that coders report the Level III codes in addition to the Level I and Level II code sets. However, these codes are not nationally recognized.As with CPT, the HCPCS Level II codes standardize similar products and categories for processing the medical claim. The HCPCS codes are primarily used for billing and identifying items and services.
