CPT 2024 Professional Edition

Trusted for more than 50 years, the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code set drives communication across health care by enabling the seamless processing and advanced analytics for medical procedures and services. CPT® is also the code to medicine's future. Constantly updated by the CPT® Editorial Panel with insight from clinical and industry experts, the CPT code set reflects the latest innovations and helps to improve the delivery of care. About the AMA, The American Medical Association is the physician's powerful ally in patient care. Our efforts focus on four critical areas: representing physicians with a unified voice, removing obstacles that interfere with patient care, leading the charge in confronting public health crises, and driving the future of medicine. For more than 50 years, the AMA has used its knowledge and resources to produce products and services for the health care industry that generate business efficiencies and empower physicians to provide high-quality care. The AMA product line includes titles on CPT®, HCPCS and ICD-10 coding; reimbursement; practice management; impairment; and HIPAA and electronic health records.
