CPT Category II Codes
CPT Category II Codes are tracking codes which facilitate data collection related to quality and performance measurement. They allow providers to report services and/or values based on nationally recognized, evidence based performance guidelines for improving quality of patient care.
CPT Category II Codes are billed in the procedure code field, just as CPT Category I codes are billed. However, Category II Codes are not reimbursable and are billed with a $0 charge amount.
Use of these codes may ease the administrative burden of chart review for many NCQA HEDIS® performance measures and increase quality performance for your practice.
Below are some frequently used CPT II codes that your practice may want to use when billing. If you would like to see a full list of CPT Category II Codes refer to the AMA CPT Codes and Descriptions© book or list on the American Medical Association website.
