AMA releases 2027 CPT code set for review ahead of January 1 implementation

The American Medical Association published the full CPT 2027 code set on September 9. The update includes new, revised, and deleted codes that will take effect for services on or after January 1, 2027. This annual update is critical for billing teams to implement changes to charge masters, EHR systems, and claim forms before year-end. Practices should secure their updated CPT manuals and identify any code changes that affect their top procedures. The next step is to check with your EHR vendor and clearinghouse for their implementation timelines and to schedule internal training sessions for coders and providers by mid-December.
