What Does CPT Stand For?
CPT stands for Current Procedural Terminology AMA
CPT, or Current Procedural Terminology, is a standardized coding system developed and maintained by the American Medical Association (AMA). It is used by healthcare providers to document and report medical, surgical, and diagnostic procedures and services in a uniform manner. The CPT codes facilitate accurate billing, data collection, and communication within the healthcare system, ensuring that providers are reimbursed for their services while maintaining consistency in medical coding practices.
