'''Procedure codes''' are a sub-type of medical classification used to identify specific [[surgery|surgical]], [[medical procedure|medical]], or [[diagnosis|diagnostic interventions]]. The structure of the codes will depend on the classification; for example some use a numerical system, others alphanumeric.
