March 2014

This month, the ATS is conducting two surveys on new or revised CPT codes. The first survey is collecting information on the newly created chronic care management CPT codes. Randomly selected members of the ATS will be asked to participate in a survey that collects information on the time, intensity and medical decision making involved in providing chronic care management services.

The ATS is also participating in a survey of a revised set of extracorporeal membrane oxygen/extracorporeal life support (ECMO/ECLS) codes. Randomly selected members of the ATS are being asked to provide information on the time, intensity and medical decision making needed in managing patients on ECMO/ECLS.

If you have received an email from the ATS regarding either of these surveys and have experience providing these services, you are strongly encouraged to participate in the survey. Anonymous survey data will be aggregated and used to establish recommended relative work values for these CPT codes.
