At MZ Medical Billing, we understand the significance of precise and comprehensive medical billing coding for healthcare providers in Texas. Our approach to managing medical billing codes encompasses adherence to standardized code sets, ongoing training, and a commitment to accuracy. Here's how we handle the specific medical billing codes:

1. Current Procedural Terminology (CPT):
   • Our team is proficient in utilizing CPT codes, published by the American Medical Association (AMA), to accurately represent the procedures and services provided by healthcare professionals.
   • Examples of specific CPT codes we commonly use include:
     • 99213 - Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient, which requires two of the following three key components: an expanded problem-focused history, an expanded problem-focused examination, medical decision making of low complexity.
     • 64483 - Injection, anesthetic agent; brachial plexus, single.
     • 81002 - Urinalysis, by dip stick or tablet reagent for bilirubin, glucose, hemoglobin, ketones, leukocytes, nitrite, pH, protein, specific gravity, urobilinogen, any number of these constituents; non-automated, with microscopy.
   • We meticulously select the appropriate CPT codes for each patient encounter, ensuring that all billable services are properly documented and billed for.
2. Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS):
   • MZ Medical Billing utilizes HCPCS Level II codes for supplies, durable medical equipment (DME), and non-physician services.
   • We have a comprehensive understanding of HCPCS codes and their application, enabling us to accurately bill for a wide range of healthcare products and services.
3. International Classification of Diseases (ICD):
   • Our team is well-versed in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) coding system, particularly the ICD-10 code set used for diagnosing medical conditions.
   • We ensure that diagnoses are coded accurately and thoroughly, providing a comprehensive picture of each patient's medical condition for billing purposes.

   • At MZ Medical Billing, we prioritize ongoing education and training for our team members to stay updated on changes to medical billing codes, guidelines, and regulations.
   • We regularly participate in workshops, seminars, and certification programs to enhance our coding proficiency and ensure compliance with industry standards.
