About this app

CPT® QuickRef from the American Medical Association

The CPT QuickRef app puts all the coding and billing tools that you need in the palm of your hand. Developed by the American Medical Association (AMA), this on-the-go reference guide quickly helps you determine the appropriate Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes to use for accurate billing. (This app provides suggested codes. Final code selection remains the responsibility of the individual user.)

CPT QuickRef is the only official mobile app from the AMA – the source of the CPT codeset, and experts to provide authoritative information about CPT codes and proper use. E/M codes are the most frequently used codes and arguably the most difficult to assign. The E/M Wizard (included in the free trial and with any single or multiyear Coding & Billing Pack purchase) will help physicians and qualified health care professionals select the right code according to AMA and CMS coding guidelines

The app includes a 14-day trial of full access, after which in-app purchase or activation is required. Choose a single year Coding and Billing Pack,

Ratings and reviews

I love this app, but every year (so far) I have issues purchasing the new code pack. It's an in-app purchase. This should not be so difficult. Once I get through the song and dance of having customer service fix it (which I will say is a fairly pleasant experience normally) it works great. If the purchase issue could just get resolved I'd easily rate this 5 stars. Edit: It's gotten worse. I want this info, I want to use this app! But it's so broken.

App stopped working out of the blue. Prior to this would take forever to load favorites. Overall poor user experience but the only app that existed for mobile devices. Have tried sending messages to developer but no fix for sluggishness.

Horsecrap customer service. I have messaged thru the app as well as thru the developer web site. Zilch. Nada. Nyet. After 3 weeks, not a peep, not even a robo response. Having problems upgrading to newer code year, plus frequently needing to sign out and back in to unlock access. Time to find another option.
