What this tool does
This lookup returns a narrow reference result:
- Code validity — whether the code appears in our packaged CPT/HCPCS reference data
- Short description — a short reference description when our data includes one
- Medicare rates — what Medicare pays for this procedure in a doctor's office vs. a hospital, with a toggle to switch between Physician Office and Facility (Hospital/ASC) rates
- RVU breakdown — Work RVU, Practice Expense RVU, and Malpractice RVU with total and conversion factor, when CMS rate data is available
- Global surgery period — whether post-operative follow-up care is included in the payment (day-of, 10-day, or 90-day window), when applicable
The lookup request sends only the code you enter to our server. Do not enter names, account numbers, or any other personal information.

Think you're being double-charged?
Use the double-charge checker to see if two procedure codes on your bill should have been billed together as one charge.
Open Double-Charge CheckerWhy CPT and HCPCS codes matter
Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes are maintained by the American Medical Association. HCPCS Level II codes cover supplies, equipment, injections, and other services commonly used on medical bills.
- CPT (Level I HCPCS): five-digit numeric procedure codes such as
99213 - HCPCS Level II: alphanumeric codes such as
J1885for drugs, supplies, and equipment
These codes identify each service on your bill. A wrong or unexpected code can change your charge significantly. If a code on your bill doesn't match what you received, that's worth questioning. For a full explanation of how to read every line on an itemized bill, see our guide to reading an itemized medical bill. For a systematic approach to finding billing errors, see our 5-step bill checking guide. This tool is especially useful when reviewing MRI/CT scan bills, physical therapy bills, and mental health bills where the correct code directly determines the charge.
