2022 CPT Code Set Changes
The American Medical Association (AMA) issued
changes to the Current Procedural Terminology
(CPT) code set for 2022. Few changes may apply to
administration of the COVID-19 vaccine. These
codes include new medical coding and
documentation standards for COVID-19
vaccinations. Data-driven planning and resource
allocation is vital for effective immunization
programs that will bring the coronavirus pandemic
to an end, said AMA President Gerald E. Harmon,
M.D. Correlating each coronavirus vaccine and
dosing schedule with its own unique CPT code has
provided necessary analytical advantages to help
track, allocate and optimize resources for
immunization programs across the United
States. Other changes to the CPT code set The
COVID-19 vaccine and administration codes are
among 405 editorial changes in the 2022 CPT code
set, including 249 new codes, 63 deletions and 93
revisions. The CPT code set continues to see
growth in new and novel areas of medicine with
43 of editorial changes tied to new technology
services described in Category III CPT Codes and
