Q: (Medical Coding Manuals) – Can you explain how to use the AAPC CPT vs. the one put out by the AMA? The AAPC version doesn’t seem to have the same notations and hints.
A: I don’t think the AAPC has a different version than AMA. They do for ICD and HCPCS, but the CPT is pretty held close to the vest by the AMA. They’ve got a standard and a professional version, we recommend the professional. They might let some subject matter go on the front. I ordered my package from AAPC and I got the same version that you would get from the AMA, so maybe the questioner meant ICD?

But yes, we might need some clarification on that. To my knowledge, there is an expert version out there, but that’s not allowed on the board exam so I don’t even mess with that too much. I just stick with the professional version, but I don’t believe that the AAPC has the rights to publish their own version of CPT.
