CPT contains how many sections?

The correct answer is based on the structure of the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding system. CPT is organized into a total of six sections, which are:

1. Evaluation and Management (E/M)
2. Anesthesiology

3. Surgery
4. Radiology
5. Pathology and Laboratory
6. Medicine

Each of these sections contains specific codes that medical professionals use to document and bill for services and procedures provided to patients. Understanding these sections is crucial for accurate coding and billing in healthcare settings, ensuring that services are documented correctly and that providers are appropriately compensated for their work.

The mention of eight or more sections in other choices does not align with the official structure of CPT as defined by the American Medical Association. Thus, the number of sections recognized in the CPT coding system is six.
