Editorial Policy

Our purpose

FreeCPTCodeFinder.com was created to help residents, students, APPs, coders, and clinicians find CPT codes for case logs and clinical documentation workflows while learning practical billing and documentation concepts.

Who creates the content

Content is developed by Graydon Stallard, DO, FACOS, FACS, who is Board Certified in both General Surgery and Surgical Critical Care, with clinical expertise in general surgery, trauma, and acute care surgery. Dr. Stallard serves as the site’s developer and author.

Use of AI

Some articles, outlines, and drafts may be created with the assistance of AI tools. AI-assisted content is edited before publication for clarity, educational usefulness, and alignment with the site’s purpose. AI tools do not replace professional judgment, official coding resources, payer policy, or institutional guidance.

Sources and verification

Where appropriate, content is informed by publicly available coding, CMS, NCCI, payer, institutional, specialty, and documentation resources. Because CPT, CMS, NCCI, and payer rules change, users should verify coding decisions against current official and payer-specific guidance.

Limitations

FreeCPTCodeFinder.com does not provide medical advice, legal advice, compliance advice, or predictable reimbursement guidance. The site is for educational coding support only.

Corrections

If you find an error, outdated information, broken page, or unclear explanation, contact support@freecptcodefinder.com. We review correction requests and update content when appropriate.

Review and updates

Pages may be updated periodically as coding, CMS, NCCI, payer, or documentation guidance changes. Major educational pages should display a last updated or last reviewed date when applicable.
