Answer 1

A procedure code is used to describe the type of services provided by a healthcare provider.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of code used to describe the type of services provided by an occupational therapy practitioner, physical therapy practitioner, physician, or other health-care provider is called a Procedure code or Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code.
