AMA Lists Full Agenda for April CPT Meeting: Appendix S Again

Web page for April meeting here. (Also registration, dates.) Agenda here.

Pathology comments are due March 12!  Other comments are due March 31.

###

It looks like there are about 60 total topics. Code 31627 for bronchoscopy is proposed for an add-on code for robot-assisted (Tab 10).  There is also a Category I add on code to reported standardized analysis of individual abnormalities in PET-CT (tab 14).  Tab 48 is "AI malignancy risk prediction."

###

Tab 67 is perenniel proposals to update Appendix S on software-dominant services and AI.

Revise Appendix S by refining the definitions of assistive, augmentative and autonomous; establish the type of clinical evidence needed to classify an AI medical service as assistive, augmentative or autonomous; clarify what constitutes clinically meaningful output.

As of March 9, you could download the code change application about Appendix S, but not the actual changs TO appendix S, yet.
