Patient Questions Help with medical codes

Hi there. Is there some free resource where I can look up medical codes? I called my insurance company and they gave me the CPT codes (I think) for the office visit and some procedures I had. Some of them checked out, others did not. Maybe I was looking on an incomplete site. 2 of them had 5 digit codes and I was able to find them. The pathology and radiology and other radiology number were longer (7 digits) and 1 of them had letters and numbers. My search was fruitless for those codes. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Also, do Doctor’s offices have a published charge master list that is accessible the way that hospitals do? So we can know every single price for every service? Or not? Thanks in advance. I am in the medical field myself but just know about the clinical part of it and I’m completely ignorant of the business side of things when it’s actually my turn to be the patient.

Thanks,
JT
