Definition(s)

  • Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) is a code set that includes an array of medical, surgical, and diagnostic services tied to the financial reimbursement of physicians and healthcare services. The American Medical Association (AMA) maintains the CPT, and it is regarded as the standard for the accurate communication of medical information and procedures among physicians, government, third-party payers, and peer-review organizations.
