How this impacts providers: Providers must continue to use the American Medical Association (AMA) Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Manual and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) Manual for professional and outpatient procedures and services.
