What are the yellow dots in the CPT® Professional 2020 Edition ?

The American Medical Association (AMA) takes the copyright protection of its content very seriously and is committed to providing the most effective anti-piracy efforts for its authors and readers. To help combat print piracy, protect our intellectual properties, and ensure our customers' right to authentic AMA-certified content, the CPT® Professional 2020 is equipped with state-of-the-art anti-piracy technology within its pages. Therefore, you will notice light-yellow dots in the background on most pages of this book. As a result of the implementation of this anti-piracy technology, you will notice the pages in this codebook cannot be reproduced by photocopy or scan in accordance with current copyright rules and laws.

Please note, the 2021 Edition will not have these dots in the background of the pages, they will be in a small portion of the page where there is blank space so your reading experience will not be affected.

CPT® 2020 Professional Edition is the definitive AMA-authored resource to help health care professionals correctly report and bill medical procedures and services.

Providers want accurate reimbursement. Payers want efficient claims processing. Since the CPT® code set is a dynamic, everchanging standard, an outdated codebook does not suffice. Correct reporting and billing of medical procedures and services begins with CPT® 2020 Professional Edition.

Only the AMA, with the help of physicians and other experts in the health care community, creates and maintains the CPT code set. No other publisher can claim that. No other codebook can provide the official guidelines to code medical services and procedures properly.
