AMA CPT Now Releases Editorial Panel "Meeting Minutes"


Header: For AMA CPT Meetings, AMA will now released full minutes (100-pages-plus.)

###

The AMA has two major reimbursement-related committees: the CPT Editorial Panel and the Relative Value Update Committee- the RUC.

For years, detailed meeting minutes of the RUC have been online.  In contrast, AMA CPT posted only an abbreviated "Summary of Panel Actions" - e.g. code applications that were voted in, rejected, or postponed.

Now, AMA CPT posts both the "Panel Actions" and also detailed "Minutes" (over 100 pages) for CPT meetings.

###

The updated web page for editorial actions says, "To provide transparency in the decision-making process, meeting minutes and voting results, along with the summary documents, are included on this page for the last five years."  However, as of now, I only see meeting minutes for September 2027 (Minneapolis CPT).
