Errata is an important word to know in the world of coding, and the June 2022 CPT® Assistant explains why. An erratum is approved official information accidentally left out of the code set. The American Medical Association (AMA) publishes errata and technical corrections (clarifications) from time to time to ensure you have accurate information for coding. The June CPT® Assistant walks you through some recent errata and technical corrections posted by the AMA.
