Major Sections of the CPT book

The major headings under the tabular section of the CPT book are as follows:

Anesthesia

Integumentary system

Musculoskeletal system

Respiratory system

Cardiovascular system

Digestive system

Urinary system

Female genital system

Endocrine system

Nervous system

Auditory system

Pathology and lab

Medicine

Evaluation and management

In addition to these sections, there are also sections for Modifiers, Deleted Codes, Medicare updates (Publication 100), and other useful information.  You should spend some time making yourself familiar with this book.  The minor sections (other than alphabetical and tabular) can be very useful in your coding and billing duties.

Until next time,

Thanks,
Lori
