The American Medical Association unveiled a coding application for use on Apple iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches and also announced a contest to find "the next great medical app," according to a news release from the association.
The CPT coding app is free on iTunes and is designed to help physicians find appropriate evaluation and management billing codes—known as E/M codes—which apply to patient-physician encounters.
The AMA also launched the 2011 AMA App Challenge, which asks physicians, residents and medical students to develop innovative medical applications. Two winners—one a physician and one a resident, a fellow or a medical student—will receive $2,500 in cash and prizes and a trip to the AMA's annual meeting in November in New Orleans.
