Abstract
Proper understanding of coding, billing, and other practice economics issues in sports medicine is vital for practice success. Lack of accuracy and understanding in these areas may lead to problems that range from lost income to practice audits and potentially steep fines. A basic understanding of current procedural terminology (CPT), awareness of international classification of diseases (ICD-9) and healthcare common procedure coding system (HCPCS) codes, and the knowledge of how to apply them benefit sports medicine physicians.
