Berenson-Eggers Type of Service (BETOS) categories are used to analyze Medicare costs. All Health Care Financing Administration Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) procedure codes are assigned to a BETOS category. BETOS codes are clinical categories. There are seven high-level BETOS categories:

  • Evaluation and Management
  • Procedures
  • Imaging
  • Tests
  • Durable Medical Equipment
  • Other
  • Exceptions/Unclassified

    • The American College of Surgeons criticizes BETOS and suggests two improvements.

    As of 01/27/2016, CMS stopped publishing the BETOS crosswalk file.
