Abstract:
A process is disclosed for calculating a Current Procedural Terminology ("CPT") code from input received from a physician or other medical professional. The physician is prompted with lists of choices corresponding to a patient's medical status. The physician makes selections from these lists which are then input into a computer. The computer then determines intermediate codes from the physician's selections. After the physician has completed entering selections, the computer then calculates a final CPT code for reimbursement purposes based on the previously calculated intermediate codes.
