AMA Releases Calendar Year 2020 CPT Codes

The American Medical Association (AMA) has released the calendar year (CY) 2020 CPT codes and there are at least 6 new CPT codes and 6 deleted CPT codes that will impact physical therapists, occupational therapists and/or speech-language pathologists in CY 2020. The new CPT codes will become effective with dates of service on and after January 1, 2020 and be valid for dates of service up to an including December 31, 2020. In addition, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is proposing to change 2 existing CPT codes to an active status meaning that CMS will assign work and practice expense relative value units to these 2 CPT codes.
