HCPCS Level II codes cover what?

• A. Diagnoses
• B. Procedures
• C. Supplies and certain services
• D. Inpatient admissions

Answer: (B)

HCPCS Level II codes are used to report products, supplies, and services that aren’t included in CPT. This includes durable medical equipment, prosthetics and orthotics, vaccines and other injectables, ambulance services, and a variety of medical supplies. Diagnoses are coded with ICD-10-CM, and inpatient admissions use facility-based coding rather than HCPCS. While CPT handles most procedures, Level II codes fill the gap for items and services not captured by CPT, such as equipment and supplies. The best description of what HCPCS Level II codes cover is supplies and certain services not captured by CPT.
