The Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) is the standard HIPAA code sets for reporting supplies, orthotic and prosthetic devices, and durable medical equipment. In combination with the Current Procedure Terminology (CPT) codes, it is also used to report physician and other health care services.
HCPCS is one of the formats in which drugs and biologics may be coded for reimbursement and other reporting for non-retail pharmacy settings. (NDC is an alternative. The HIPAA regulations do not at present designate a single standard for this purpose.)
