Three times during the year, the CPT® Editorial Panel (Panel) deliberates code changes and the AMA/Specialty Society RVS Update Committee (RUC) describes the resources required to provide physician services, which the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) considers in developing Relative Value Units (RVUs). Panel review of code change applications begins one month prior to each Panel meeting. Details on upcoming meetings are posted as they become available.
