Summary & Overview
CPT 4014F: Performance Measure for Clinical Quality Reporting
CPT code 4014F denotes a performance-measure entry used for clinical quality measurement and reporting. Although the source description includes no detailed summary, the code’s format identifies it as a reporting or quality-capture element rather than a billable procedure. Nationally, such codes matter because they standardize measurement of care processes and outcomes across payers and support value-based payment, public reporting, and quality improvement efforts.
Key payers in the scope of this publication include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find an overview of the clinical context for a measure-type code like 4014F, guidance on typical sites where the measure is collected (outpatient clinics, physician offices, hospital quality departments), and a framework for understanding how such codes interact with payer reporting requirements and national quality programs.
The publication outlines what is known and what is not available from the input: it provides benchmarks and policy-relevance discussion where possible and clearly notes where specific measure detail, associated ICD-10 diagnoses, modifiers, and related codes are not available in the provided information. The content is intended for national stakeholders seeking concise context about a CPT performance-measure code and its role in quality reporting workflows.
Billing Code Overview
CPT code 4014F represents a performance measure entry with no summary provided in the source description. Based on the code format and typical use of CPT Category II–style numeric measures, this entry corresponds to a clinical quality or performance metric rather than a discrete procedure.

Clinical & Coding Specifications
Clinical Context
A typical patient is an adult with chronic dyslipidemia and elevated cardiovascular risk factors presenting to a primary care clinic or outpatient cardiology practice for performance status and quality reporting related to lipid management. The encounter documents whether the patient has a current statin prescription and the intensity of therapy. The clinical workflow includes medication reconciliation, review of lipid panel results, assessment of contraindications or adverse effects to statins, shared decision-making about therapy intensity, and documentation of current statin use or reasons for not prescribing. The visit typically occurs in an outpatient office setting, often during a chronic disease follow-up or preventive visit, and the clinician documents the statin therapy status for quality reporting and value-based care measures.
Coding Specifications
| Modifier | Description | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
25 | Significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service by the same physician on the same day of a procedure | Use when an E/M visit is performed and separately documented in addition to procedures or services on the same day |
59 | Distinct procedural service | Use to indicate a distinct procedure or service not normally reported together with another service |
76 | Repeat procedure or service by same provider | Use when a procedure or service is repeated subsequent to the original on the same day |
77 | Repeat procedure or service by another provider | Use when another provider repeats the procedure or service on the same day |
RT | Right side | Use when service is performed on the right side of the body (if laterality applies) |
LT | Left side | Use when service is performed on the left side of the body (if laterality applies) |
91 | Repeat clinical diagnostic laboratory test | Use when a lab test (e.g., lipid panel) is repeated on the same day to confirm results |
AZ | Ordering/Referring Provider (state-specific) — general use varies by payor | Use when required to indicate the ordering/referring provider on claims when applicable |
GY | Item or service statutorily excluded or does not meet the definition of any Medicare benefit | Use when reporting services not payable by Medicare to indicate non-covered service |

E78.5 | Hyperlipidemia, unspecified | Common indication for initiation and monitoring of statin therapy and quality reporting of statin use |
E78.0 | Pure hypercholesterolemia | Specific lipid disorder frequently managed with statin medications to reduce LDL cholesterol |
I25.10 | Atherosclerotic heart disease of native coronary artery without angina pectoris | Indicates established coronary artery disease; patients are typically recommended statin therapy for secondary prevention |
I10 | Essential (primary) hypertension | Hypertension coexists with dyslipidemia and contributes to cardiovascular risk assessment guiding statin intensity decisions |
E78.1 | Pure hypertriglyceridemia | May influence choice of therapy and monitoring alongside statin use |
