CPT Changes - New CPT Codes '2022

Glimpses of CPT Codes Updates - Effective from January 1st 2022

There are more than 400 codes are changes in 2022 from AMA. Total number codes are changed 405 and including of followings,

  1. New Codes - 249 
  2. Revised Codes - 93 
  3. Deleted Codes - 63

More than 40% of the editorial changes are tried to new technology services described in Category III CPT codes and the continued expansion of the proprietary laboratory analyses section of the CPT code set.

Five new CPT codes are created for therapeutic remote monitoring codes 98975, 98976, 98977, 98980 and 98981 to increasingly important avenue of patient care especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Five new CPT codes are created for complex care management codes 99424, 99425, 99426, 99427 and 99437 and there are some changes in chronic care management CPT codes as well.

Six new CPT codes are created for Cardiac Catheterization codes 93593, 93594, 93595, 93596, 93597 and 93598 for congenital heart defects. Also, there are some changes in electrophysiology ablations CPT codes.

And major CPT codes are added in laboratory section.
