A CPT is an acronym for Common Procedural Terminology and it is a standard for billing in the medical industry. For example, CPT code 77427 is for radiation treatment management and is billed once per five treatment sessions regardless of the actual time period in which the services are furnished. The services need not be furnished on consecutive days.
