Every practice has different workflows and needs. This reality determines which “users” will need to select, reference, or access the CPT® Codes in the NextGen® Ambulatory EHR or NextGen® Practice Management systems. Many of our clients are already prepared. Are you? If you’re wondering how your practice measures up to other NextGen Healthcare clients using CPT Codes, we can provide insight.
Here are some measures that previously non-compliant clients have taken to ensure their American Medical Association (AMA) compliance. In each case, the respective clients gained a better understanding of which additional “users” they’d need to cover with their purchase of new CPT Code licenses:
- An eye group with 20 providers purchased 125 CPT Code licenses to cover all providers/staff
- A large 125-provider health system in the Southeast, purchased 833 CPT Code licenses
- A 90-provider cancer group that is part of a hospital purchased 234 CPT Code licenses
- One large 115-provider medical center purchased 263 CPT Code licenses
- An Appalachian-area health system with 38 providers purchased 138 CPT Code licenses
How many CPT code licenses do you need to be compliant?
Each client mentioned above understood the need to be compliant with the AMA’s definition of a “user.” While each client purchased varying numbers of CPT Codes for their organization, relative to the number of providers, if you add all of the providers listed above with the number of CPT Code licenses they purchased, the total “user” to provider ratio is over 4:1.
How many CPT code licenses do you think you need to be compliant with the AMA’s rules and regulations? Probably more than you anticipate. We’re here; ready to guide you through this process. Ask us for help!
Make one small investment for full AMA compliance
With one small CPT Code investment, you’ll receive:

The CPT codes you need, now at 35% less
NextGen Healthcare continues to offer 2015 CPT, HCPCS, and RVU Codes as part of the NextGen Healthcare Coding Update File at more than a 35% lower price than last year. Enjoy the benefits of pre-formatted codes that can be imported effortlessly into your system each year. By understanding the AMA’s licensing terms and conditions you also will be compliant with their definition of a “user,” which can greatly decrease your chances of being audited.
Automatic, annual updates
As an added convenience, when NextGen Healthcare clients purchase the codes from us, we will automatically add you to our automatic code renewal program. This helps ensure you receive the subsequent year codes and updates you need automatically by January one of each year. Don’t miss the opportunity to ensure your peace of mind by securing your CPT Code licensing for 2015. (And, don’t forget to evaluate your license needs annually, as well as when you add additional users.)
