2024 Updates to American Medical Association's Current Procedural Terminology Codes for Oncology Panel Testing

Billing and reimbursement for medical services are codified by a code set, Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), that is maintained and administered by the American Medical Association. CPT codes are considered level 1 Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System, which is overseen by the Centers for Medicare& Medicaid Services (https://www.cms.gov/medicare/coding-billing/healthcare-common-procedure-system, last accessed January 3, 2024). CPT codes are assigned categories. Category I CPT codes are procedures that are consistent with contemporary medical practice, are widely performed, and demonstrate clinical validity (https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/cpt/cpt-overview-and-code-approval, last accessed January 3, 2024).
