For this document you will find photos turned into pdf watermarked showing my handwritten notes changing a 2025 AMA CPT manual into a 2026 manual. If there is no photo of a page or section, it is because it is my opinion that the set will not end up on a medical coding exam. This set includes code updates from E/M through the Medicine section without the proprietary laboratory analyses updates as I have never seen or heard of these changes showing up on an exam. You will find first a photo of my handwritten notes, then a copy of the current 2026 page codes and how they look in the current year manual. Do not stress over every word of the descriptions, I have placed the main key words that anyone would need to look for inside an exam question if any of these codes are used in upcoming exam. I hope this helps! This is written for educational purposes only. Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure accuracy and completeness.
