About this list

Coverage status comes from the Medicare coverage field in the CMS HCPCS release. It describes how Medicare treats the code, not whether a particular claim will be paid: that depends on the patient, the documentation and your payer's policy. The largest group here is the S series (Temporary National Codes (Non-Medicare)).
