ACR Fellows Observed RUC Leaders
ACR® presented 23 Current Procedural Terminology® (CPT®) codes at the American Medical Association (AMA)/Specialty Society Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC) meeting, held Jan. 14–17 in Los Angeles.
These codes covered several radiology and multi specialty procedures, including:
ACR RUC Advisor Andrew Moriarity, MD, MBA, and ACR RUC Alternate Advisor Michael Booker, MD, MBA, presented practice expense and physician work recommendations for all five code families. Robert Bour, MD, RUC Advisor for the Radiological Society of North America, supported presentations on the MRA head and neck and CT upper extremity codes.
Looking ahead, ACR is preparing for the April 2026 RUC meeting in Chicago. The CPT survey cycle is expected to begin in February, and members are encouraged to complete any surveys they receive due to the short response window.
ACR also welcomed four guests who observed the RUC process:
Before the meeting, guests joined conference calls where they heard multi society discussions on strategy and preparation. During the meeting, they observed ACR’s RUC leadership team, along with advisors from other radiology specialty societies, gaining firsthand insight into the valuation and recommendation process.
