Common CPT vs. HCPCS Confusion – Explained with Real-World Scenarios

CPT vs. HCPCS: Stop the Confusion, Start Getting Paid
CPT and HCPCS codes often look similar, but using the wrong one can cost your practice in claim denials, compliance risks, and lost revenue. Many providers struggle to decide which code applies — CPT for procedures or HCPCS for supplies and drugs. This confusion not only delays payments but also creates audit vulnerabilities.
In our latest video, we simplify the differences and share real-world billing scenarios so you can code accurately, stay compliant, and maximize reimbursements.
