What does each mean in cpt coding?

CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) coding is a standardized system used to describe medical, surgical, and diagnostic services. Each CPT code is a five-digit numeric code that represents a specific procedure or service provided by healthcare professionals. The codes are organized into categories, such as Evaluation and Management (E/M), Surgical Procedures, and Radiology, each reflecting different aspects of patient care. Accurate CPT coding is essential for billing, insurance claims, and maintaining medical records.
