- New Info on Digital Pathology Codes Now Available at CAP.org
The CAP curated resources for pathologists and their practices on the new Category III Digital Pathology codes. These resources include a website with all the codes, information, and frequently asked questions. The new codes are intended to capture and report additional clinical staff work and service requirements associated with digitizing glass microscope slides for primary diagnosis. Digitization of glass microscope slides enables remote examination by the pathologist and/or in conjunction with using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.
The CAP worked with the American Medical Association (AMA) CPT Editorial Panel to establish 13 new digital pathology add-on codes. As a result of CAP advocacy, the codes will help pathologists, pathology practices, and laboratories providing digital pathology digitization procedures appropriately report these services. The new digital pathology codes have been effective since January 1, 2023.
