The category number or level codes that represent services and procedures that have been approved by the FDA and proven to have clinical effectiveness are typically found in category 1 codes. Category 1 codes are used for procedures, services, and tests that have been well-established through clinical research and have a demonstrated clinical effectiveness. These codes are widely accepted by insurance companies and healthcare providers.
The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) manual contains three main categories of codes: Category I, Category II, and Category III. Category I codes are the most commonly used and represent procedures and services. Category II codes are optional tracking codes used for performance measurement, while Category III codes are temporary codes for emerging technologies and procedures. In total, there are thousands of specific codes within these categories.
