Pathology issues had a comment deadline of July 25. You can still request materials to review, though, til September 12.
Diagnostics Field
Prostate biopsy codes for the surgical procedure are up for revision (55xxx).
Under genomic sequencing procedures, look for new codes for renal conditions, immune conditions, and Alport syndrome.
There is one application for Administrative MAAA code (bladder) and one deletion.
There are remote device codes for monitoring oncology therapy.
There are a number of codes with the term, "Augmentative AI" in areas like radiology and cardiology and dermatology.
There is a "discussion only session" (tab 94) on "clinically meaningful algorithmic analyses" that do not require physician work. (AMA has been discussing where to put "dry lab” AI of whole slide imaging, and this session may be relevant.)
PLA CODES
Codes under review by the PLA committee are posted here:

By September, the PLA committee will have finished its reviews and edits and these codes will be voted on (briefly) at the Chicago CPT.
