Licensing CPT for AI FAQs

| 3 Min Read

The CPT Standard Data File contains the latest CPT code set. For more information on how to obtain a license for use of the CPT Standard Data File, please visit our CPT licensing FAQs page.

Organizations must be appropriately licensed for each product that uses or relies on CPT codes. For details on obtaining a CPT license, please visit our CPT licensing FAQs page.

The AMA reviews all CPT licensing requests and applications. For those that indicate the intended use of AI or LLM systems in a product’s development or workflow, we assess how the product would integrate CPT content, focusing on how CPT content is used and how it is secured within these systems. The goal of this review is to ensure that the use of CPT content in innovative technology is appropriately licensed and complies with the AMA’s standard licensing requirements.

We are contacting prospective licensees with the next steps for their pending CPT licensing applications. The primary contact identified for your organization will receive a separate email with a link to answer questions about your product. Once responses are received, an AMA licensing manager will reach out to the primary contact within 10 business days to schedule a call and discuss the licensing process further.

To speak directly with an AMA licensing representative, please complete the survey link sent to your organization’s primary contact via email. Once we have received your responses, an AMA licensing manager will reach out to the primary contact within 10 business days to schedule a call and discuss the next steps. If you are requesting to expedite the process, please mention your urgency in your survey responses or contact us directly.

If your organization already has a CPT license agreement, the AMA will help determine whether your existing license can be modified to permit new uses of CPT content for specified AI or LLM applications, or if a new agreement is required. If you are a current licensee seeking support, please submit a support request. Be sure to include your Contract ID so we can review the correct account.
