Overview
The Code Mappings page is used to map one or more CPT or HCPCS codes to one or more ASA codes for use during charge entry in Connect Back Office. Codes are mapped based on a particular code year.
This page shows both system-mapped codes and user-mapped codes. System-mapped codes cannot be removed.
When you map multiple codes, each code is added individually to the mapped code listing. For example, suppose you map 76376 to 01922 and 01924. Two separate mappings appear in the mapped code listing (76376 → 01922 and 76376 → 01924).
