> You have to hope your hospital uses CPT codes and not, say, DRG coding, or something else entirely, otherwise you'll need to look up those codes too.

This is a bit of a misunderstanding. CPT codes are part of professional services billing, while DRGs are exclusively for inpatient acute care billing. If you are admitted to a hospital, you’ll probably have to deal with both.
