I recently completed a consulting project for a client that required researching commercial payer coverage policies for a specific procedure. What I found was that, in addition to a list of relevant CPT codes for the particular service I was researching, there was a host of HCPCS “S” codes that were included in some of the coverage policies. It occurred to me that these are not codes you come across every day, so I took the opportunity to refresh my understanding of these codes. I’ll share with you what I learned.

Wolters Kluwer Law & Business is excited to announce recent enhancements to the CCH Coding Comply product that is available via the CCH Internet Research Network and the CCH and MediRegs Coding and Revenue Resource Center and Audit and Revenue Resource Center.

The 2009 HCPCS level II annual update has been released! This update includes approximately 140 new codes, 178 modified codes and 73 deleted codes.
