Digital Medicine Coding Committee

The CPT Editorial Panel created the Digital Medicine Coding Committee in 2024. The committee’s charge is to respond to requests from the Panel and to support the Panel on coding issues that involve or may include a digital medicine and/or an artificial intelligence component by providing or obtaining expertise or advice on a specific subject matter. At all times, the Panel shall have the sole authority to create, revise and update codes, descriptions and applicable guidelines for appropriate CPT coding.

The CPT Editorial Panel continues to evolve its thinking on artificial intelligence and strives to better accommodate the evolving role of advanced digital technologies in health care. 

• In response, the Panel’s Digital Medicine Coding Committee (DMCC) has been working to develop a coding solution. The potential new category of CPT code would be a mechanism to codify algorithmic analysis of clinically relevant patient data (e.g., biophysical signals, imaging data, lab results) to produce clinically meaningful output or conclusions that impact patient care.
• This framework is still under development and is tentatively titled Clinically Meaningful Algorithmic Analyses (CMAA).
• The DMCC is actively seeking stakeholder feedback to ensure the structure is clinically relevant, scalable and aligned with current health care delivery and payment models.

Each stakeholder listening session will allow for stakeholder comments. We cannot guarantee that everyone will have time to speak during these open comment sections, but it is our intent to hear all perspectives. Attendees must register for each virtual meeting and participants will be held to the CPT confidentiality policy (PDF).
