 PLA REVISIONS

MAY 2025 NYC CPT

AMA has opened registration (real and virtual) for the May 1-3 2025 meeting in New York City.  Find it here.  It will be held at New York Marriott, Brooklyn Bridge, 333 Adams Street.

CPT Lab Code applications for May 2025 have been released.   The lab tests have a much earlier public comment cycle which runs March 14 2025.  (However, you may request materials as an interested party up to May 2, 2025, which is new, for lab tests.)  If you have comments later than March 14, they won't go to the lab subcommittees, which meet in March/April.  But, you could stay make comments "from the floor" in May, for example.

Looks like there are ~15 lab tests, including some for optical genome and whole genome.
