Help! How is this procedure used? :eek:
 
I took this directly from coding-training.com:

Category II CPT codes are supplemental tracking codes used to measure performance. It is anticipated that the use of these codes will decrease the need for record abstraction and chart review and thereby minimize the administrative burden on providers, and any other entity interested in measuring the quality of patient care. They are intended to facilitate data collection about the quality of care rendered by coding certain services and test results that support nationally established performance measures and that have an evidence base as contributing to quality patient care.

The use of these codes is optional. The codes are not required for correct coding and may not be used as a substitute for Category I codes.

See the website for more information

Good luck!
