AMA Releases the Biggest Batch of PLA Applicants Ever

Just two weeks ago, AMA released 29 new and finalized PLA codes, April 1 (here).

Here's the PLA home page:

According to the calendar there, AMA releases draft codes April 14, wants feedback by April 21, and will finalize by April 21.  The codes are then voted on by the Editorial Panel regular spring meeting (April 30-May 1).

Here is the code list, which reiterates that comment is due by April 21:

I count over 100 new codes (circa 105).

Historically, PLA codes voted by AMA CPT around May 1, are included in the summertime CMS crosswalk-gapfill meetings.

The next application date is June 9 for codes finalized October 1.
