What are the difference between hcpcs and icd-10 codes?

HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System) codes are primarily used to identify services, procedures, and supplies provided to patients, including non-physician services like ambulance rides or durable medical equipment. In contrast, ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision) codes are used to classify and code diagnoses, symptoms, and medical conditions. While HCPCS focuses on what services were performed, ICD-10 codes focus on the reasons for those services, such as the patient's health status or diagnosis. Together, they provide a comprehensive coding framework for healthcare billing and documentation.
