Reporting Unlisted Procedure Codes

Why the CPT UNLISTED CODES IMPORTANT?

​Here are our Unlisted Service or Procedure Codes
A service encounter or surgical procedure may be provided that is not listed in this edition of the CPT code book. When reporting such a encounter or service, the appropriate “Unlisted Procedure” code may be used to indicate the service, identifying it by “Special Report” as discussed in the section below.

When you bill for unlisted code, I always recommend to submit medical documentation. Most of the payers may require additional information. So make sure you submit your documentation and operative report as well. This way, we can avoid payment delays.
