Summary & Overview
CPT 4192F: Procedural Service
CPT code 4192F is a Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for a medical procedure or service; the source description did not include a narrative summary. As a CPT code, 4192F is used in professional and facility billing to classify a specific clinical service and enable standardized claims processing. This classification matters nationally because CPT codes underpin reimbursement, utilization tracking, quality measurement, and regulatory reporting across public and private payers.
Key payers typically involved in analyses of CPT-coded services include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers of this publication will find an overview of the code’s clinical role (when available), payer coverage considerations, common benchmarking elements, and areas where additional documentation is typically required. The report flags where descriptive data are missing and identifies typical analytic outputs: utilization benchmarks, payment policy references, and coding guidance context.
This summary is intended for a national audience of billing managers, revenue cycle analysts, and policy staff who require a concise reference to the code’s purpose, payer landscape, and what additional information is needed to operationalize billing and compliance work. Data not provided in the input are noted so readers understand where supplemental sourcing is required.

Clinical & Coding Specifications
Clinical Context
A typical patient is an adult referred to a specialist for evaluation following surgical pathology or an outpatient procedure where a specific clinical quality metric must be reported. The patient may have undergone a procedure or encounter for which performance or outcome data are captured and reported to payors or registries. The clinical workflow includes documentation of the encounter, collection of required data elements, verification of whether the quality measure or registry reporting criteria were met, and submission of the appropriate quality/measure reporting code. The clinician documents the indication, relevant findings, and the reporting outcome in the medical record to support billing and quality-report submission. Common sites of service include outpatient clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospital outpatient departments where encounters are reviewed for quality reporting.
Coding Specifications
| Modifier | Description | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
25 | Significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service by the same physician on the same day of the procedure | Use when a documented E/M visit is distinct from the procedure and meets E/M criteria |
24 | Unrelated E/M service by the same physician during a postoperative period |
