CPT codes are used by physicians and other health care providers to report devices and drugs (including vaccines) required for the performance of a service or procedure, services or procedures performed for clinical use, services or procedures performed in accordance with current medical practice, and services or procedures that meet CPT requirements. These are billable codes for reimbursement.
CPT Codes are used to report performance measures, which reduces the need for chart review and medical records abstraction.
These codes provide the data required by the Performance Measures Advisory Group (PMAG). The PMAG is made up of experts in performance measurement from the American Medical Association (AMA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), and the Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement. This information is gathered to help develop and enhance performance measures by collecting information about the quality of care. These codes cannot be billed for reimbursement.
Category III CPT codes are used to report new tech in a number of different settings, such as services or procedures done on humans recently, clinical trials, and so on. These are temporary codes that must be approved for Level I placement within five years, renewed for another five years, or excluded from the book. Another distinguishing feature of Category III CPT codes is that they are listed numerically rather than anatomically.
CPT codes are divided into three categories:
Category 1, Category 2, and Category 3.
CPT is a basis recognized by the American Medical Association.

These tools are intended to increase the number of providers who can administer the drugs and secure proper compensation for administration in Medicare, as well as to make it apparent to private insurers and Medicaid programs that they must cover these products at no cost to beneficiaries.
Category I: The most comprehensive set of codes, which includes the most often used by providers to report their services and processes. Supplemental tracking codes for performance management are found in CPT Category II. Temporary codes are used to report new and experimental services and procedures in CPT Category III.
