Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System
What is a HCPCS Code?
HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) codes are used to identify medical procedures, supplies, and services for billing purposes. These codes help standardize how healthcare services are reported and billed across different providers and insurance companies.
Detailed Description
This code is used when a healthcare provider documents that your blood pressure reading was normal and within healthy ranges. Because your blood pressure was normal, no additional follow-up appointments or monitoring are required at this time. This is a positive finding that indicates your blood pressure is well-controlled and healthy.
Additional Information
This is a documentation code used for quality reporting purposes when blood pressure readings are normal. It indicates good cardiovascular health status and that your current blood pressure management approach is working well.
