CPT® Codes
Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes provide a uniform nomenclature for coding medical procedures and services. Medical CPT codes are critical to streamlining reporting and increasing accuracy and efficiency, as well as for administrative purposes such as claims processing and developing guidelines for medical care review. The AMA develops and manages CPT codes on a rigorous and transparent process led by the CPT® Editorial Panel, which ensures codes are issued and updated regularly to reflect current clinical practice and innovation in medicine. Here you'll find the AMA's latest updates on new CPT codes, code proposals and revisions, CPT code reimbursement and more.
