Billing codes can be useful when trying to find a good price for a medical test or procedure because all medical offices must use the same codes which allows you to compare prices.

These codes, such as CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes, are standardized, which helps patients and providers compare costs across different facilities or providers for the same procedure.
