HCPCS Mapping to CPT4 Codes

Hello,

I have a list of diagnosis codes mapped to HCPCS codes and am looking for a way to link those to CPT4 codes. I looked into mapping to SNOMED as a bridge. Has anyone cone this before?

@bhyde1:

Hm. I would not recommend doing that. Because you cannot assume that those mappings are equivalent mappings. In fact, those rarely exist. CPT4 is predominantly for ambulatory care, and HCPCS is a hodgepodge of all sorts of things, a minority of which are procedures. Map everything to SNOMED and stay in there.
