AMA Survey on US-Guided FNA!

In the coming month, some U.S.-based ATA members of the following medical societies will receive an AMA RUC survey regarding valuation of ultrasound-guided FNA CPT codes (10005, 10006):

American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE), Endocrine Society (ENDO), American College of Radiology (ACR), American Society of Cytopathology (ASC), College of American Pathologists (CAP), Outpatient Endovascular and Interventional Society (OEIS), Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR)

If you receive this online survey, it is critical that you complete and submit it by the deadline. In order to ensure equitable RVU values for these procedures a robust survey response from physicians that perform US-guided FNA is required, as are accurate and timely responses. Be sure your answers reflect the full scope of work- including preparation, performance, cleanup, visit completion, materials, and supplies. Take care not to underestimate the time and resources required. The following tutorial from AMA provides an overview of the RUC survey instrument:

Understanding the RUC Survey Instrument: Physician Services without Global Period

Key actions:

1. If you receive a survey from AMA regarding US-guided FNA CPT codes 10005 and 10006, complete and submit it on time.
2. Provide responses that fully represent the time, work, and resources involved in US-guided FNA.

Thank you for your attention to this important issue impacting both physicians and patients.
