Reminder: Blood bank physician service codes changing in 2028

11/03/2026
Advocacy Update

Beginning in January 2028, the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes used to report blood bank physician services will be changing.

Your input matters: You still have time to participate in the CAP’s survey supporting the appropriate valuation of these new and revised services. A randomly selected group of CAP members will receive the American Medical Association/Specialty Society RVS Update Committee (RUC) physician work survey at the email address on file with the CAP.

Check your inbox: If selected, your participation will help ensure the relative values for these services are accurately and fairly presented to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

  • Survey emails will come from James Carver at jcarver@cap.org or Todd Klemp at tklemp@cap.org.

  • Members who receive the survey and have direct professional experience with these pathology services are encouraged to complete it.
