Criticism
The copyright restrictions are heavily criticized in the medical billing and clinical research communities. It is fair to dedicate a section on criticism accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.174.21.2 (talk) 22:01, 29 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I would call the copyright restrictions "sickening". 71.212.103.210 (talk) 05:17, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

The section on whether the Copyrights on CPT require users of the code to license the copyright from the AMA concludes that it IS required, but references that with a (dead) link to the AMA's own website. It is totally unclear to me what is and is not enforceable copyright at this point... but concluding that a "license" is necessary because the entity selling licenses says it is necessary, and when a court case has concluded something different and complicated is an unreasonable conclusion. Without a better reference, this article should simply say "it is unclear".

Regulatory Capture

 * 1) Step 1. Regulate clinicians use your words or else no one gets paid
 * 2) Step 2. Demand charge for a license to use your words
 * 3) Step 3. Profit !

The AMA must be brought to account for their bad business practices. Is the answer for all of us in mass to file complains with the better business bureau???

One
One of the more frustrating things about CPT codes is that they seem to be heavily under copyright. Go try looking up ICD codes and you can find them on the net as well as discussions on which codes go where and which codes are often grouped together but are not obvious. Such discussions seem to be much rarer about CPT codes and I believe the copyright status of the work is the major reason for it. TMLutas 15:14, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

CPT codes
I am currently attending a "cram course" on cpt coding...I need help in locating some answers, but have found this to be impossible on the net. I get plenty of help with "ICD9"! Where can I get on line help with CPT? Kathy —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.118.125.34 (talk) 04:14, 25 January 2007 (UTC).

 * The short answer is "you don't." You generally have to pay for access to the list.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:04, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

The section breakouts are out of date. E.g. Medicine:cardiovascular now is 92920-93799. Is there a process and source to update this? --Larmanius (talk) 23:10, 29 July 2020 (UTC)Larmanius
