HCPCS Level II codes are used to identify which categories?

• A. Diagnoses
• B. Products, supplies, and services
• C. Procedures
• D. Medications

Answer: (B)

HCPCS Level II codes are designed for items and services not included in the CPT code set, covering the broad category of products, supplies, and certain services used in health care. This includes durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, disposable supplies, and many drugs or biologicals administered in a facility, as well as other non-physician items and services. Diagnoses are coded with ICD-10-CM, and CPT codes (Level I) mainly cover procedures and physician services. So the best description of what Level II codes identify is the category of products, supplies, and services.
