Description
Major changes are coming to the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) code set on January 1, 2026. With 2 new, 9 revised, and 8 deleted codes, understanding how these updates impact angioplasty, stenting, and atherectomy coding is critical for accurate reporting and reimbursement.
Join Haugen’s expert coding team for this dynamic webinar that breaks down the new CPT definitions for key coronary anatomy terms – including lesions, major arteries, branches, segments, and bypass grafts – and explains how these changes redefine PCI coding structure and logic. Through real-world case studies, you’ll gain hands-on insight into applying the 2026 codes and guidelines with confidence and precision.
Whether you’re a coder, auditor, or cardiovascular professional, this session will help you navigate the new landscape of coronary intervention coding and stay ahead of coding challenges in 2026.
Objectives:
- Recognize the 2026 CPT changes affecting PCI coding, including new, revised, and deleted codes
- Interpret new coronary anatomy definitions and apply them to coding decisions
- Code PCI procedures accurately using 2026 guidelines and case-based examples
