#cpt updates

There are 394 code changes in the 2020 CPT code set, including 248 new codes, 71 deletions, and 75 revisions. In making these updates, the CPT Editorial Panel considered broad input from physicians, medical specialty societies and the greater health care community. All sections of CPT® received changes in codes and guidelines, except Anesthesia.

It’s that time of the year again and providers and coders are busy preparing themselves for a brand-new set of CPT® codes. 2018 offers 11 new, revised, and deleted anesthesia CPT® updates that you/your staff should start preparing without delay – especially if you report anesthesia for GI procedures, shoulder cast application, or neurectomy.
