Who needs to purchase 2015 CPT codes?
Every NextGen Healthcare Ambulatory and Hospital client MUST purchase the 2015 CPT codes to receive the latest CPT code additions and changes. Also, every client using the IMO Procedure IT physician terminology product must update to 2015 CPT codes, since IMO is mapped to the newest CPT code-set – 2105. Additionally, IMO is obligated to report which clients have purchased their product to the American Medical Association. Ask yourself, are you…
- A provider selecting and accepting a CPT code where one is recommended as part of an encounter?
- A receptionist making an appointment for an MRI or other procedure, and needing to enter the appropriate CPT code as the reason for the appointment?
- A Practice Administrator viewing a dashboard showing procedures, reimbursements, and frequency?
- Any other clinical support staff who may be referencing, selecting, or confirming procedures within the electronic system?
- Someone who has accessed or looked up CPT codes on Google, elsewhere on the Internet, or transcribed CPT codes from hardcopy materials so you could manually enter the codes into your electronic system?
In each of the above scenarios, the AMA expects that royalties will be paid to them by users/entities for the use of the AMA’s CPT copyrighted content.
There is no “maybe” with 2015 CPT codes
There is no other way to say it: to protect your practice and bottom line, you need to have your licensed 2015 CPT codes purchased for the correct number of “users” and imported and uploaded to your system. With the uptick in AMA audits, it’s critical that you are compliant to protect everything that you have worked so hard to build.
We have the codes solutions you need, now at lower prices
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 you will be able to import effortlessly into your system, and by understanding the AMA’s licensing terms and conditions, you will also be compliant with their definition of a “user,” which can greatly decrease your chances of being audited.
As an added convenience when you purchase the codes, we will automatically (for NextGen Healthcare direct clients only) enroll you in our automatic code renewal to ensure you receive subsequent annual codes and updates automatically by January 1 of each year. Don’t miss the opportunity to ensure your peace of mind by securing your CPT Code licensing for 2015.
