The 2024 Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code set from the American Medical Association (AMA) created 349 editorial changes, including 230 new codes, 49 deletions, and 70 revisions.
Keeping up with the numerous coding changes issued each year by the AMA is essential for coding professionals to perform their jobs accurately and effectively, despite any difficulties the updates may pose. Accurate coding ensures that facilities, physicians, and organizations have appropriate data to support high-quality patient care, as well as timely and proper reimbursement.
