The American Medical Association (AMA) 2020 CPT® codes will be available soon and now is the perfect time to ensure your practice is covered.
Need CPT codes?
We can help! Simply contact your NextGen Healthcare account manager to purchase 2020 CPT codes. They’ll be available for import in December and take effect January 1, 2020.
We make it easy!
2020 CPT code licenses purchased through NextGen Healthcare will also include the latest HCPCS codes when they become available December 2019. Here’s a 3 more ways we can help:
- Easy to import – We bundle both code sets (including RVU mappings) into one file for you to easily import into NextGen® Enterprise
- Less expensive -Purchasing CPT and HCPCS codes from NextGen Healthcare is less expensive than from the American Medical Association (AMA) directly because the AMA charges for both code sets
- Auto-renew– Get ready for next year—this year! Purchase this year and you’ll auto-renew for 2021.
Purchased 2019 CPT codes from us last year?
If you purchased 2019 CPT codes from NextGen Healthcare last year and agreed to automatic renewal of your 2020 CPT codes, you’re good! Your new set of 2020 CPT code license(s) are set up for automatic renewal based on your purchase(s) for the 2019 codes. Watch for 2020 CPT codes in December. We’ll simply invoice on or around January 10, 2020 for the associated annual renewal fee for the number of 2020 CPT code licenses that comprise your auto-renewal order. Please notify your account manager by Friday, November 15, 2019 if you do not wish to “auto-renew” your 2020 CPT code license(s).
Important to note
If you have purchased or are renewing for the NextGen® Medical Necessity Check or NextGen® In-Line Edits (formerly known as NextGen® Real-Time Edits (NextGen RTE) solutions, you will also need to have purchased the most current CPT Code set released by the AMA to be compliant with AMA rules. These other NextGen Healthcare solutions rely on mappings of the most current CPT codes. Therefore, the use of these solutions is predicated on the most current CPT codes being purchased and loaded in your system.
Stay in AMA compliance
Our goal is to ensure you purchase and use the correct number of licenses to lessen the chance of a future AMA audit.
Review the AMA License Terms definition of a “Provider”. Purchases through your NextGen Healthcare account manager must adhere to AMA requirements. The AMA has been auditing the use of CPT codes more frequently and they are reaching out directly to clients as well as NextGen Healthcare to inquire. To protect your practice, it is essential to comply with all AMA rules.
