CPT Category II Codes

Did you know that the use of CPT® Category II Codes could close gaps in care as set forth by the National Committee for Quality Assurance? CPT® Category II codes are helpful in documenting and communicating important preventative care services. These are informational-only, descriptive tracking codes. While CPT® Category II Codes are not reimbursed by BCBSRI, submission of these codes will greatly reduce the HEDIS medical record review burden on your practice by closing gaps in care through claims data. These codes can be submitted effective immediately and can even be used for claims with older dates of service. If you have any questions, please contact the Quality Department by emailing QualityHEDIS@bcbsri.org.
