11 best codes to boost revenue at your medical practice

Medical practices are leaving tens of thousands of dollars uncollected each year; not because payers are denying claims, but because physicians and administrators aren’t consistently billing for all the work they already perform. With shrinking margins, rising staffing costs and mounting administrative pressure, accurate coding has become one of the most reliable levers practices can pull to stabilize cash flow. Yet many high-value CPT and HCPCS codes remain underused simply because staff haven’t built workflows to capture them.

Industry experts emphasize that smarter code utilization isn’t “upcoding,” but a way to ensure fair compensation for chronic care coordination, preventive screenings, remote monitoring and higher-complexity visits that clinicians routinely provide. Recent coverage from Medical Economics highlighted how remote monitoring boosted Medicare revenue by 20% for primary care clinics, underscoring how overlooked billing opportunities directly tie to practice stability. And a Physicians Practice explainer on chronic care management coding criteria shows how small workflow adjustments can turn routine work into recurring revenue.

These are 11 of the best revenue-generating codes practices should consistently use.
