The five-character CPTÂ® codes are used by insurers to help determine the amount of reimbursement that a practitioner will receive for services provided. Current Procedural Terminology (CPTÂ®) codes were first published in 1966 and are developed, maintained, and copyrighted by the American Medical Association (AMA). Thousands of CPTÂ® codes are in use, and they are updated annually. They fall into three categories:
Overview of the Law. The immigration statute lists a number of types of activities that can make one deportable. The primary ones relate to immigration violations, national security and terrorism activities, and criminal violations.
Solutions in Domestic Violence Cases. Immigration lawyers must learn the rules so they can argue in immigration court that a given conviction is not an aggravated felony, and so avoid the aggravated felony immigration consequences. These arguments are given in Safe Havens Â§Â§ 7.147-7.157 (2005).
