CPT® 2024 Professional Edition is the definitive American Medical
Association (AMA)-authored resource to help health care
professionals correctly report and bill medical procedures and
services. Health care professionals want accurate reporting of
services rendered and reimbursement. Payers want efficient claims
processing. Correct reporting and billing of medical procedures and
services begins with CPT® 2024 Professional Edition. Only
the AMA, with the help of physicians and other experts in the
health care community, creates and maintains the Current Procedural
Terminology (CPT®) code set. No other codebook has the accurate,
complete official guidelines for the latest and current procedural
terminology for procedures and services to help you code and report
medical services and procedures properly. The AMA also takes the
copyright protection of its content very seriously and is committed
to providing the most effective anti-piracy efforts for its authors
and readers, such as inclusion of the Amazon Anti Privacy Sticker
and nonintrusive light-yellow dots on almost every page to reduce
print reproduction in accordance with current copyright rules and
laws. Recognizing that racism is a threat to the
advancement of health equity and a barrier to appropriate medical
care, as well as the power of images in contributing and limiting
what bodies physicians, medical professionals, and students learn
to see and define as normal and standard, the CPT 2024 Professional
Edition will feature diversity-related illustrations to counter a
deep-seated, culturally, and systemically biased norm. These
diversity-related images continue advancing inclusive and equitable
representation of a diverse range of skin tones in our medical
educational resources for everyone who uses our codebook in their
daily work, practice, and education. FEATURES AND BENEFITS
