Explanation

HCPCS Level II is a national code set (alphanumeric, one letter followed by four digits) maintained by CMS to report items such as durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, supplies, ambulance services, and drugs administered other than by mouth. These are items generally not found in CPT (HCPCS Level I). Payers rely on Level II codes to adjudicate supply and drug claims.
