The CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) code range for Diagnostic Ultrasound Procedures is a medical code set that is maintained by the AMA (American Medical Association). More information about the latest updates to the CPT codes for 2025 can be found here. Here are examples of CPT codes relating to ultrasound (diagnostic and guidance) that are in use for 2025. This is not a complete list — for full compliance you should reference the official American Medical Association (AMA) CPT® 2025 codebook or your payer’s policies — but it covers many of the commonly-used ultrasound codes.
