Abstract

The “Taxonomy of Artificial Intelligence for Medical Services and Procedures” became part of the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code set effective January 1, 2022. It provides a framework for discrete and differentiable CPT codes which; are consistent with the features of the devices’ output, characterize interaction between the device and the physician or other qualified health care professional, and foster appropriate payment. Descriptors include “Assistive”, “Augmentative”, and “Autonomous”. As software increasingly augments the provision of medical services the taxonomy will foster consistent language in coding enabling patient, provider, and payer access to the benefits of innovation.
