Every client needing the latest CPT code additions and changes will need to purchase the 2015 codes. Contact your NextGen Healthcare sales rep or go to insidesales@nextgen.com to purchase 2015 CPT® codes at a substantial price reduction.
Also, every client using the medical procedure software – IMO Procedure IT Terminology product – must update to the 2015 CPT codes since the IMO product is mapped to the newest CPT code-set – 2015.
Please understand that the AMA requires that use of any codes in the 2015 code-set version be purchased, regardless of whether you secure them in an electronic format or even if you only wanted to manually enter the codes. The AMA has been auditing NextGen Healthcare and other vendor clients more frequently: It is important that you are in compliance with the AMA’s rules.
With your purchase, please fully understand the AMA’s License Terms that define a “user,” found at http://www.nextgen.com/cpteula. Purchases through your sales rep must adhere to AMA requirements. Our goal is to ensure your purchase and use the correct number of licenses to lessen the chance of a future AMA audit. AMA License Terms and definition of a “user” have been in place for many years: This is not a new requirement.
- Per the AMA, CPT data files are licensed on an individual (as opposed to concurrent) user basis.
- The AMA considers an individual to be a CPT user if he or she directly accesses CPT data in a product or, in the case where CPT is embedded in a product and not directly accessible, relies on embedded CPT data to perform his or her intended function with the product or its output.
- Every Provider, regardless of whether of their full-time, part-time, mid-level, or Resident status, is considered and defined by the AMA as a “user.”
- While most other third-party content sold by NextGen Healthcare is aligned to Provider counts and how NextGen Healthcare sells and licenses its EHR/ PM, this is not the case for the CPT codes.
- The AMA expects that not only Providers (i.e., MDs, DOs, Dentists, PAs, RNPs, PTs, etc.) must subscribe and have a license for the CPT codes, but also any front-office (i.e., making appointments using CPT codes), back-office (i.e., coders or those processing claims using CPT codes or working with reports), nurses, or other staff defined as an AMA “user” must be included in your total user counts.
- Even Providers such as Residents or those working limited hours must be included in the user counts for CPT utilization.
When you purchase 2015 codes we’ll enroll you in our automatic code renewal program to help you maintain the highest levels of compliance and ensure you always have the most current codes. Don’t miss this money-saving opportunity to secure your CPT Code licensing for 2015. Learn more.
