Medical Coding Practice Test

What role do Level II HCPCS codes play regarding medications?

1. Prescription renewals

2. Reimbursement requests

3. Reporting injectable drugs

4. Documenting psychiatric care

The correct answer is: Reporting injectable drugs

Level II HCPCS codes are used primarily for reporting services and supplies not covered by CPT codes, such as injectable drugs. These codes help in accurately documenting and billing for procedures like administering injectable medications. Therefore, the correct answer is C, reporting injectable drugs. The other options are not related to the role of Level II HCPCS codes regarding medications. Prescription renewals are typically handled through prescription orders, reimbursement requests are related to billing codes and not specific to medications, and documenting psychiatric care would involve other codes specific to mental health services rather than Level II HCPCS codes for medications.
