what is the difference between hcpcs and cpt codes
HCPCS and CPT codes are two different code sets for medical billing. Both can be used to submit claims. These code sets are maintained by two different entities. CPT codes are copyrighted and maintained by the American Medical Association. HCPCS codes are mainted by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
Which code set you used should be based upon choosing the code which most accurately describing the service that is performed. Whether that should be a CPT code or a HCPCS code should be determined by the provider.
Another factor to consider is where the claim will be submitted. It is always a good idea to check coverage from the insurance carrier / payer before submitting a claim. Tell them which procedure code and diagnosis code you intend to use.
There are many different code books, code software and internet code lookup tools available to help assist in choosing the correct code. www.instacode.com has both books available.

How do you get the diagnostic codes on a 2000 Cadillac STS?
To retrieve diagnostic codes from a 2000 Cadillac STS, you can use an OBD-II scanner. First, connect the scanner to the OBD-II port located under the dashboard near the driver's seat. Turn the ignition to the "On" position without starting the engine, then follow the scanner's prompts to read the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Alternatively, you can perform the "key-on, engine-off" procedure by turning the ignition on and off three times quickly, which may display codes on the dash, though using a scanner is more reliable.
