Medical fee codes (more precisely Procedure Code) are a form of standarization for medical billing. Each procedure has a unique code used to determine everything from pricing to eligiblity. If you went to 10 different doctors for a flu shot, generally every one of them would use the same Procedure Code to determine the appropriate fees. The fees may vary greatly but the code number should be the same. In a hospital the code is checked against what is called a Charge Master. This is a dB that says for any given Procedure Code what do they charge based on what the negotiated price is with your insurance carrier.

CPT Code Modifier 62 -Two Surgeons: When two surgeons work together as primary surgeons performing distinct part(s) of a procedure, each surgeon should report his/her distinct operative work by adding modifier 62 to the procedure code and any associated add-on code(s) for that procedure as long as both surgeons continue to work together as primary surgeons. Each surgeon should report the cosurgery once using the same procedure code. If additional procedure(s) (including add-on procedure(s) are performed during the same surgical session, separate code(s) may also be reported with modifier 62 added. Note: If a co-surgeon acts as an assistant in the performance of additional procedure(s) during the same surgical session, those services may be reported using separate procedure code(s) with modifier 80 or modifier 82 added, as appropriate.

Yes, a 25 modifier can be placed with the 81025 procedure code if a significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service is provided on the same day as the procedure.

A procedure in code is a set of instructions that performs a specific task or function. It is used in programming languages to organize and reuse code by breaking it into smaller, manageable parts. Procedures can be called multiple times within a program to execute the same set of instructions, making code more efficient and easier to maintain.
