Descriptions may differ between sources. The primary description is shown first.
Five character alphabetic codes fit into current claims processing software or onto standard paper claim forms. ABC Codes give business parity to licensed CAM and nurse providers who file claims to insurance companies. .
These codes fit into standard message formats for HCPCS codes that are a named standard. ABC codes represent over 4,500 healthcare products and services. They fill gaps in older medical code sets such as CPT ® and HCPCS II and the retirement of state-specific HCPCS III codes. ABCcodes are a shorthand means of documenting healthcare procedures and treatments. Codes are an essential tool when computers are used to reduce paperwork and costs. Codes are also essential for managing the healthcare supply chain. The codes reflect care that is not described by conventional or allopathic centric code sets. ABC codes describe nursing, behavioral health, alternative medicine, ethnic and minority care, midwifery and spiritual care.
