Section B contains the Multiple Specialties codes of the ABC code set. Accurate coding remains the ultimate
responsibility of the end-user. Sections, subsections and headings used to organize the ABC code set do not define and/
or restrict the ABC code use by any practitioner type. Any practitioner may use any ABC code in this manual, provided
that the service, remedy and/or supply is within that practitioner’s scope of practice. To ensure the use of only those ABC
codes within the scope of practice of a given practitioner in the state where the remedy was provided and/or dispensed,
consider signing up for and using www.ZipClaims.com.
Each heading contains ABC codes ending in ZY or ZZ – Undefined narrative required. Use these ABC codes when a
specific service is not described by any other code and submit a Terminology and Code Request following the
instructions on page 292, or at www.ABCcodes.com.
NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, ABC codes represent 15-minute time increments. When a service or treatment exceeds initial time
increments, report each additional time increment according to payer requirements.
