Description: In this topic, the user will learn how to add and edit CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) and HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) codes. CPT/HCPCS Codes are used for billing purposes on service codes. Default codes can be added to service codes. Modifiers can be updated on funding accounts. Codes and modifiers can be manually added or edited on individual billing entries in the billing module.

*Please note: If CPT/HCPCS codes are not added or edited, the default code and modifiers from the service code and funding account will be applied to the billing entries.

Role Required: Super User, Billing Team (can only manage CPT/HCPCS codes and modifiers on billing entries)

Permission Required: Funding Source Admin (can only add default CPT/HCPCS codes on service codes and add modifiers on funding account)
