Look up any CPT or HCPCS code.
Type a code, or a keyword from its description, and get three answers: what the code is (CMS’s own description), what Medicare pays, and the one no code dictionary shows — who actually bills it. Free search over 6,400+ CPT and HCPCS codes from public CMS Medicare data.

One search, three answers.
Every code dictionary on the internet gives you the description. That’s the easy third of the question. If you carry a bag, the questions that pay are the other two: what does Medicare actually pay for this code, and who in your territory is already billing it? That last one is the part no code dictionary shows — and the part Prospect 811 was built for.
New to the alphabet soup? CPT codes are the five-digit procedure codes (99214 is an established-patient office visit). HCPCS Level II codes are the letter-plus-digits codes for drugs, devices, and supplies (J0585 is one unit of Botox). Medicare publishes what it pays for both — and publishes who billed them. This tool puts the pieces in one place.
The highest-volume codes each have a full page — description, Medicare fee, and the top billers nationally: browse the code pages →
What this data is (and isn’t)
- Descriptions are CMS’s own. Straight from the public Medicare utilization files — no licensed dictionary text.
- Medicare fee-for-service only. Medicare Advantage, commercial, and cash claims are invisible here. It ranks the doors; it doesn’t count every case.
- Small volumes are hidden by CMS. Any provider-code-year under 11 beneficiaries is suppressed in the claims data, so a thin result can mean “hidden,” not “nobody.”
