Final answer:

The CDT Code is not part of the HIPAA Standard Code set.

Step-by-step explanation:

The CDT Code, which stands for Current Dental Terminology Code, is not part of the HIPAA Standard Code set. The HIPAA Standard Code set is a collection of codes used in healthcare to standardize the electronic exchange of medical information. It includes codes such as ICD-10-CM for diagnoses and CPT codes for procedures, but does not include the CDT Code which is specific to dental procedures.
