Free CPT and HCPCS Coding Course
CPT and HCPCS Coding Essentials
CPT and HCPCS coding describes services and supplies recorded in a healthcare encounter. Enroll in this free course to distinguish procedure codes from modifiers and review how documentation supports a clear, consistent claim.
About this course
In this free CPT and HCPCS coding course, you learn how procedure and supply codes represent documented healthcare services. You first compare the systems, code references, and bundling concepts, then examine evaluation and management selection using documented decision-making or time. Procedure coding training introduces examples from surgery, imaging, laboratory work, and medicine so you can understand why service context matters.
Modifiers add information to a code, but they need a supported reason. You study their role alongside HCPCS Level II supplies and services, payer policies, and review of combined claims. Compliance and case-review lessons help you recognize when documentation is insufficient or a coding choice needs checking. The course offers beginner foundations for further medical coding study. It does not replace current code sets, payer guidance, or supervised professional practice, and it does not promise reimbursement.
