The 2023 Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code set from the American Medical Association (AMA) ushered in 393 changes of varying significance. Among these are 223 additions, 95 deletions, and 75 revisions.
For coding professionals to perform their jobs accurately and effectively, keeping up with the numerous coding changes issued each year by the AMA is required regardless of how difficult it can be in some cases. Accurate coding ensures that facilities, physicians, and organizations have appropriate data to support high-quality patient care, as well as timely and proper reimbursement.
