Featured coffee – Auld Lang Syne Flavored Coffee
I’ve enjoyed this first year of blogging, and thank you for allowing me to share a cup of coffee and my thoughts and opinions with you.
I’m looking forward to sharing more with you in 2020!
I am so excited about the new features I’m planning for the site!
The codes and guidelines may change, but may your coffee remain the same – delicious!
Have a Happy, Healthy, and Blessed New Year!

Well, it’s that time of year again. We’ve received our 2020 CPT® book, reviewed and highlighted changes, and appended our relevant notes from our 2019 book.
But, did you check the AMA site for errata and technical corrections?
Errata provide “information that was approved by the CPT Editorial Panel and inadvertently excluded from the current code set”1, and technical corrections are code clarifications made by the Panel.
I’ve included a hyperlink to the complete list (to date). I recommend you bookmark the site to stay up to date on future changes.
Let’s review one of the errata together:
CPT® 33257 is not a new code for 2020. The codes used in conjunction with 33257 have been updated, and according to the errata, a significant change was excluded in the 2020 CPT® book.
So, review the 2020 Errata and Technical Corrections and make the updates in your book. Don’t forget to bookmark the page and review it for more updates during the year.
