On October 13, 2023, AMA released the PLA code applications for the October (4th Quarter) comment cycle. If you want to review and comment, you must do so very quickly, the comment period is only open for a few days. Requesters must state a "material interest" in the code (e.g. working in the same field).
The codes shown below will be edited by the PLA subcommittee over the next month and then voted on by a teleconference of the CPT panel as a whole.
Find the agenda of 33 codes here:
https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/november-2023-pla-public-agenda.pdf
I list very brief summaries here, for details, see the full PDF. The final codes will be announced January 1, these codes will be effective April 1 and priced by CMS in Summer 2024.
