1 2014 CPT Code Updates This publication is a summary of The American Medical Association Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes published in ARUP's Laboratory Test Directory effective January 1, Tests not listed in this summary do not have CPT code changes at this time. The American Medical Association Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes published in ARUP s Laboratory Test Directory are provided for informational purposes only. The codes reflect our interpretation of CPT coding requirements based upon AMA guidelines published annually. CPT codes are provided only as guidance to assist clients with billing. ARUP strongly recommends that clients confirm CPT codes with their Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC), as requirements may differ. CPT coding is the sole responsibility of the billing party. ARUP Laboratories assumes no responsibility for billing errors due to reliance on the CPT codes published.
