CPT Calendar

I always find it hard to find the posting website for CPT codes during the brief period of public comment a month or two before each CPT meeting.   

For example, for the February 6-8, 2020, CPT meeting in San Francisco, code applications are due November 6, and Pathology proposal titles will be posted November 20, if you want to comment, you must request by November 29, and submit said comment by December 4.   (Non-pathology proposal titles will post December 6 with request to comment by January 16 and submitted by January 23.)

The overall calendar is posted here:

What's more tricky is finding the actual postings.  AMA creates a webpage to register the upcoming meeting (e.g. the February 2020 meeting), and when it creates THAT webpage, it will provide links to the inspection documents there.   For example, right now (October 2019), the CPT Overview Page provides notice the next meeting will be February 6-8, 2020, in SF, but doesn't provide any link to register and therefore doesn't provide any link to pre-meeting documentation.

As of October 29, AMA hadn't posted PLA deadlines for 2020, but they will be close to: January 10, April 10, July 10, October 10.   Applications through April 10 tend to appear in the summer CMS crosswalk/gapfill pricing meeting.
