AMA takes PLA code applications quarterly (most recently April 5) and posts them for a few days of public comment (posted April 14). The comment request deadline is April 21. The committee finishes its review and edits by April 26 and the AMA CPT panel vote will be at the May meeting (May 13). Nearly all codes are accepted, but the publication date will be July 1.
