A system for determining an applicable CPT code for the patient encounter. The system, in one form, includes a paper form defining a history section, an examination section and a complexity section. Each of the history and examination sections includes a plurality of point indicators, each of which is associated with a characteristic relating to a corresponding one of the sections. Each of the point indicators is marked during the patient encounter when the associated characteristic is applicable to the patient. Each of the history and examination sections also includes a section score calculator, which records a section tally of the marked point indicators and directs the conversion of the section tally to a section score. A final code calculator records the section score for each of the history and examination sections and a section score for the complexity section, and computes a final CPT code from the sections scores.
