Kiley Ritter · Answer 1

The answer is false.

The CPT code stating separate procedure is the procedure that is reported if it was the only service provided. If it is performed at the same time with another procedure (bundled codes are for services that are provided together), this procedure will not be reported.

Raquel Watkins · Answer 2

The statement which states that CPT code stating separate procedure is part of a bundled code is true.

Explanation:

The CPT codes is elaborately called as current procedural terminology. Such type of codes are used in billing in case of insurance. For example if a patient visit the physician to get treatment for flu, each and every step of treatment and service provided to him is assigned with CPT code. In turn all these CPT codes are added to the bundle code and billing is generated based upon it which must be paid by the patient.

The bundle code is term which refers to the collection of CPT code, the latter is considered as part of the former. So, bundle code is separate procedure done together.
