AMA Considers Over 50 PLA Codes This Quarter

 Typically, a PLA code quarterly agenda involves about 20-25 codes.

This quarter, I count 53 codes that are either new or in revision.   There are another five or so that are being deleted.

The codes were released around January 13 (sorry I didn't post) and the PLA committee is meeting and voting today, January 20.   The 50-some codes will appear as a "consent calendar" or "single vote" at the AMA CPT meeting in Palm Springs, February 5-6, 2026.
