The document discusses different medical coding systems and provides case studies to demonstrate when each would be used. ICD-CM codes are used to indicate diagnoses, CPT codes are used for outpatient procedures, ICD-10-PCS codes are used for inpatient procedures, and HCPCS codes are used for supplies. Case studies show that CPT codes would be used for an outpatient visit, HCPCS codes for rapid tests ordered during the visit, ICD-CM codes for reporting the diagnosis from test results, and ICD-10-PCS codes for an inpatient tonsillectomy procedure.
