    Definition

    Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System Level II codes describe products, supplies, drugs, and services not included in CPT - durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, supplies (DMEPOS), and physician-administered drugs (J-codes).

    What this means in practice

    DME, supplies, and many home-use medical devices are billed under HCPCS. Code assignment, coverage, and pricing are coordinated through CMS quarterly and annual updates.
