Wiki CONVERTING

[LeighKLM1]

Does anyone know if a tool or resource exists for coding conversions? For instance, when one insurance company or contract only accepts B codes and another company (secondary payor) uses only S codes. Is there a feature that reveals the equivalent HCPC codes ? Thanks in advance!

Generally it is not possible to convert between HCPCS or CPT codes. The reason different codes are created is because different organizations may require a specific code definition for which there is not an equivalent code available. You will not find two codes with exactly the same description, so it's not possible to create a perfect crosswalk that will work in all cases.
