Outpatient coding uses ICD-10-CM diagnostic codes and CPT or HCPCS codes, which specifically apply to services and supplies provided in the outpatient setting. Documentation plays a key role in assigning CPT and HCPCS codes.
Outpatient coding refers to a detailed diagnosis report in which the patient is generally treated in one visit, whereas an inpatient coding system is used to report a patient's diagnosis and services based on his duration of stay.
