Wiki 2016 cpt coding updates - Will APPC publish CPT codes

[CodingMari]

Will APPC publish CPT codes updates for the year 2016 to AAPC members?

I am aware of the ICD 10 updates.

I would really appreciate if someone can guide me

The AMA is the only entity that can publish the updates to their coding system. They do not do this anymore. They want you to purchase the book and in the appendix you will find the listing of all changes. If you preordered your book you will receive it September of their year.
