CPT Codes and ICD-9 Codes for Genetic Counseling Services & Related Services
ICD-9 coding classification system is used to describe diseases and operations, for physician reimbursement, hospital payments, quality review and benchmarking measurement
CPT® (Current Procedural Terminology) Codes, American Medical Association, descriptive terms and identifying codes for reporting medical services and procedures. The purpose of CPT is to provide a uniform language that accurately describes medical, surgical, and diagnostic services, and serves as an effective means for reliable nationwide communication among physicians, and other healthcare providers, patients, and third parties.
