The American College of Radiology (ACR) and several other radiological societies submitted proposals at the May meeting of the AMA CPT Editorial Panel, advocating for emerging imaging tools.
Their proposals included a new Category III CPT code for software that generates an AI malignancy risk score from medical imaging data, as well as revisions to two current Category III codes (0721T and 0722T) related to quantitative CT tissue characterization. All were deferred for refinement, the ACR said in a May 7 update.
Radiology CPT advisers met with other specialty societies and vendors and reviewed approximately 65 proposals submitted to the AMA, many that could affect radiologists, according to the ACR.
The update also highlighted anticipated radiology code changes for calendar year 2027. The ACR urged members to review the changes for their potential impact on contracts in the coming year.
