Product updates
What's shipped on the site — new data coverage, lookup tools, and sourcing. For changes to the Medicare rates themselves, see fee schedule changes by release.
-
Search now understands plain-language descriptions

Added a hub ranking the most-billed CPT codes by CMS utilization data, linked from every code page.
