CPT 2010 is just round the corner. Are you ready for the sea of changes it will bring with it this time round?
American Medical Association (AMA) is planning to come up with lots of changes. They have said that they will work to reduce the confusion that has been created in the past when a new code is added in a section that has run out of numbers. AMA is naming the new process ‘resequencing’, which can be used in rare occasions.
AMA has also released some information relating to H1N1 codes and data structure. In reply to an urgent request from the Department of Health and Human Services, the CPT Editorial panel voted to create a new code and to revise another to use for reporting for H1N1 virus. These changes were approved by the panel on September 25, 2009. Since these changes were made so late in the year, you will not find them in the 2010 CPT code book. But chances are you’ll find these codes in the 2011 CPT code book.
How do you keep yourself informed of the latest CPT and other changes if they are not to be found anywhere in the CPT code book? You can go for CPT coding online information. For this, you can sign up for a one-stop medical coding website and have access to the entire gamut of CPT changes and information.
