CPT Code.
Current Procedural Terminology code.
A 5-digit code that identifies a specific medical procedure or service. Maintained by the American Medical Association. Every line on a medical bill maps to a CPT (or HCPCS) code; that code determines the price. CPT 73721, for example, is a knee MRI without contrast.
