507 | hcpcs code | 1.1;2 | POINTER | 81 | HCFA Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) is a coding system that is composed of Level I codes (CPT codes), Level II codes (national codes), and Level III codes (local codes). Level I (CPT) codes are five digit numeric codes that describe procedures and tests. CPT codes are developed and maintained by the AMA with annual updates. Level II (national) codes are five digit alpha numeric codes that describe pharmaceuticals, supplies, procedures, tests and services. Level II codes are developed and maintained by CMS with quarterly updates. Level III (local) codes are five digit alpha numeric codes that are being phased out by the fiscal intermediaries. | |

If this field is set to 'No', the panel will be unbundled into it's individual atomic tests and the CPT codes for those atomic tests will be sent to PCE for billing purposes. Note: This field is only functional for a panel test. This field is ignored for an atomic test. Refer to the Clinical Indicator Data Capture (CIDC) implementation guide for further instruction for managing this field. |
