This year’s completely updated 29th edition of Coding for Pediatrics includes all changes in Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes—complete with expert guidance for their application. Also included are the new office and outpatient evaluation and management coding changes. The book’s recently updated vignettes and examples, as well as the many coding pearls throughout, provide added guidance needed to ensure accuracy and payment.

What's new for 2024:
New roadmap to identify chapter applicability by specialty, role, and setting
Added discussion of evaluation and management guidelines for code selection including correct reporting of split or shared visits
New Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes for behavioral health integration services
New codes for intraoperative echocardiography and venography for congenital heart defects
New codes for vertebral tethering procedures

The AAP Committee on Coding and Nomenclature (COCN) is responsible for reviewing all proposed changes to CPT and ICD-10-CM coding structures to determine whether the Academy will endorse the proposal; participates in the American Medical Association/Specialty Society Relative Value Scale Update Committee's (RUC) survey process by validating clinical vignettes, evaluating survey data, and deciding on physician work and practice expense relative value units (RVUs) to recommend to the RUC; and serves as a review panel regarding other activities such as identifying Academy positions on the RBRVS. The COCN also monitors the Medicare RBRVS physician fee schedule and its adoption by private and public payers. To update pediatricians on its activities, including the formal publication of new and revised CPT and ICD-10-CM coding structures and final values for CPT codes used by pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists, and pediatric surgical specialists, the COCN publishes periodic articles in AAP News along with a monthly coding column called Coding Corner.
