Please Note: Data Files are not software. There is no search application associated with these Data Files. Check with your data professional to ensure compatibility with your existing billing and claims reporting system. These Data Files are used to import up-to-date codes and descriptors into your own billing, medical records or claims software. The AMA has deliberately not included programs with these text files, as each user has different needs. The text files may be used with any software that allows use of an ASCII and/or EBCDIC (CPT Data File) file. To open the .TXT files, you must first launch a database, spreadsheet, or other application, and then use the file open and/or file export functions within the software.

System Requirements:

IBM or compatible
Windows® or PC DOS – 256K
CD-ROM Drive

Please remember: 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.
