CPT Assistant Archives, CD-ROM Editions

Please note: Several editions are described below, covering different archived years - and providing licensed use for different numbers of users. These are the most current editions!

Remember that the current year edition will carry the previous year's name. For example, the edition published in 2010 will have 2009 in its title, the edition published in 2009 will have 2008 in its title and so on.

These updates are always published after the year is over so that they may contain all the updates made in the previous year. Also, keep in mind that any title not yet published can be easily pre-ordered here so that you can effectively plan ahead! Help me choose.

Which version of CPT Assistant Archives should you buy?

First, a note about dates. The edition published this year always has last year's date on it. For example, the "2011" editions come out in 2012. So, you can expect the 2011 editions to be available only in 2012, the 2010 editions in 2011 and so on. Therefore, the editions listed on this page are the most current ones available.
Second, a note about full software vs. update for one year only: CPT Assistant Archives contains complete software. Powered by a high-speed search engine, this user-friendly software is more than just an electronic version of the archived issues of the CPT Assistant newsletters. This disk includes menu screens, a cumulative index of article titles and a complete historical CPT list, including when a code was added, deleted and/or revised. In coming years, you will only need to purchase updates for this software, at reduced prices.
Third, what do these CDs contain? CPT Assistant Archives Update contains every issue of CPT Assistant published in a year, and loads directly with your current software. You must have CPT Assistant Archives 1990-20xx software to run these updates. If you do not already own the software edition, a single year update is not for you. Choose instead the software option so you can have all of the years of information plus the software.
How many networked users do you have? Choose your version of the full-software or the updates according to how many staff will actually need to access this software. All CD-ROMs come in 3 versions - for 1 user, for 2 to 5 users, or for 6 to 10 users.

Remember that the current year edition will carry the previous year's name. These updates are always published after the year is over so that they may contain all the updates made in the previous year. Also, keep in mind that any title not yet published can be easily pre-ordered here so that you can effectively plan ahead!

Please also remember that the government no longer allows a grace period for annual code sets. The new HIPAA Transaction and Code Set Rule requires providers to use national medical code sets that are valid at the time that a service is provided. ICD-9-CM code revisions become effective October 1st each year while CPT and HCPCS code revisions become effective January 1st. In order for you to meet this requirement, you must have the revised CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-9-CM codes in your possession before the implementation dates. The best way to do this is to order your code books early. Review current coding resources.
