How the 2025 CPT® Code Set Changes Affect Your Learning Path
The American Medical Association (AMA) released the 2025 CPT® code set with about 420 total changes, including 270 new codes, 112 deletions, and 38 revisions. This is big for students because CPT is core to both hands-on coding work and CPC/CCS exam scenarios. Many of these updates reflect new medical procedures and technology advancements — meaning you’ll see exams and real cases that ask you to code things that didn’t exist in older books.
Quick take: Make sure your CPT learning materials are updated — if you’re using older guides, supplement them with the latest AMA publications or online CPT update lists.
