2025 CPT Code Updates
From time to time, the American Medical Association (AMA) makes minor changes to the CPT code set. The changes generally take effect on January 1. In some cases, AMA adds new codes and retires others. In other cases, only the description associated with the code is changed. Eyefinity updates its software and platforms to support code changes.
The updated codes apply only to claims with a service date on or after the CPT code change effective date—January 1. Claims with an earlier service date will continue to use the prior codes. Billers should familiarize themselves with the changes and verify that the correct codes are appearing on claims.
Eyefinity has identified 25 code changes that apply to eyecare, with the caveat that there may be additional changes not identified.
This section includes the 2023 CPT code updates:
- New CPT Codes Effective January 1, 2025
