CPT Category Ii Codes
What are they? CPT Category II Codes are reporting codes that relay important information to the health plan. This information can close quality care gaps
related to specific health outcome measures.
Why are they Important? CPT Category II codes should be submitted in conjunction with CPT or other codes used for billing and will decrease the need for
record abstraction and chart reviews, minimizing your administrative burden.
How to bill CPT Category II Codes: CPT Category II codes are billed in the procedure code field, just as CPT category I codes are billed. CPT Category
II codes describe clinical components usually included in evaluation and management or clinical services and are not associated with any relative value.
Therefore, CPT Category II codes are billed with a $0.00 or $0.01 billable charge amount.
