HCPCS Level II codes cover codes for what?

• A. Current Procedural Terminology codes (CPT)
• B. codes for product supplies and services not covered under CPT
• C. Hospital inpatient stay codes
• D. NDC drug codes

Answer: (B)

HCPCS Level II codes exist to bill for items and services that aren’t included in CPT. They cover product supplies and services that CPT doesn’t address, such as durable medical equipment, prosthetics and orthotics, medical supplies, ambulance services, and many drugs or biologics that aren’t billed with CPT codes. That scope is exactly what the option describes, making it the best answer. Inpatient hospital stay codes and NDC drug codes belong to different coding systems or subareas, so they’re not what HCPCS Level II is defined to cover.
