HCPCS Quarterly Update

Guidance for the official update of the HCPCS code system.

Final

Issued by: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Issue Date: August 13, 2020

The official update of the HCPCS code system is available as a public use file below.  Effective date is noted in the file title.

HCPCS Webpage Updates

As all HCPCS Level II updates are now fully searchable and sortable electronic files, CMS will no longer publish the Table of Drugs and HCPCS Index as part of the HCPCS quarterly updates.

Additionally, due to the establishment of complete HCPCS quarterly files beginning in 2020, CMS is removing the “Other Codes (other than C and G HCPCS codes)” section from the HCPCS Quarterly Update page. The information contained in this section has been incorporated into annual HCPCS file for the appropriate year.

HHS is committed to making its websites and documents accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities. We are in the process of retroactively making some documents accessible. If you need assistance accessing an accessible version of this document, please reach out to the guidance@hhs.gov.
