Each year, the American Medical Association (AMA) releases new Category I CPT codes for the upcoming year. These codes are formally presented to the coding industry at a Symposium meeting in November. Lectures are given by industry experts in their respective specialty at this meeting for both the clinical and billing implications of the new or revised codes. For 2025 there are 420 different changes to the codes. This includes 270 new codes and 112 deletions. There are also 38 code revisions.
As we have seen in past, many temporary Category III codes are being created. These are the codes that have no assigned RVU value and are considered temporary. Providers and coders need to review a list of these unique new codes each year to familiarize themselves with their existence so they can assign them as needed.
All this valuable information and more is presented by industry expert Jill Young who attends the meeting to hear firsthand the information and put it into a succinct, fast paced lecture to provide you and you practice all the information it needs to be prepared for 2025.
Webinar Objectives
Although there are new areas of medicine with proprietary laboratory analyses assigned to the largest proportion of new codes (37%), other new codes for telemedicine are a part of the changes for 2025. Additionally, editorial revisions to Remote Therapeutic Monitoring and Digital Medicine will be presented.
