CCO Admin asked:
Were the CPT S-codes created by BCBS?
Answer:
## HCPCS S-Codes
Commercial Payers (Temporary Codes)
Yes Blue Cross/Blue Shield and other commercial payers develop S codes to report drugs; services; and supplies. These codes may not be used to bill services paid under any Medicare payment system. Medicare does not reimburse for services under S codes.
