ICD-10-CM Coding Update

Don't let October 1 catch you unprepared. Join us for a practical review of the ICD-10-CM updates that will impact claims, compliance, and reimbursement throughout FY 2027.

Learn what practices need to know to stay compliant and get paid correctly. Walk through a review of ICD-10-CM coding guidelines and be informed of the latest changes to the code set. New codes, revised codes, and deleted codes always carry important implications for coding accuracy, documentation, compliance, and reimbursement. The FY 2027 update includes changes that affect many common conditions seen in primary care, specialty practices, hospitals, and outpatient settings. New and revised codes provide greater specificity for metastatic cancers, blood disorders, liver disease, plantar fasciitis, sinusitis, BMI reporting, and other frequently reported diagnoses.

What You'll Learn

• Review all FY 2027 ICD-10-CM code additions, revisions, and deletions
• Understand the coding guideline changes and key changes that impact code assignment and documentation
•  Identify common diagnoses affected by the 2027 update, including conditions frequently seen in primary care and specialty practices
• Learn documentation tips to support accurate code selection and medical necessity
• Recognize areas where EHR templates, charge tickets, encounter forms, and workflows may require updates
• Prepare for payer implementation and reduce claim delays related to coding changes 

Coding professionals, providers, and practice leaders must understand how these code changes affect documentation requirements and claim submission beginning October 1, 2026.Whether you work in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Cardiology, Oncology, Hematology, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Endocrinology, Orthopedics, Podiatry, Wound Care, Women's Health, or Revenue Cycle Management, this annual update is essential to maintaining coding accuracy and reducing reimbursement risk. Failure to prepare could result in delayed claims and lost revenue.

Key Update Highlights 

• New cardiomyopathy codes including arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy
• Expanded secondary malignant neoplasm codes with greater anatomical specificity
• New codes for low blood sugar following surgery
• Enhanced reporting options for platelet disorders and blood conditions
• New code for moderate (Stage F2) hepatic fibrosis
• New code for intestinal failure-associated liver disease
• Expanded coding for plantar fasciitis and sinusitis
• New personal history code for prior C. difficile infection

Why Attend? 

The annual ICD-10 update is more than a review of new codes. It is an opportunity to refresh your understanding of ICD-10-CM coding guidelines, improve documentation practices, and ensure your organization is prepared for the October 1 implementation date. NOTE - a self-supplied ICD-10-CM code set manual is not required but may be helpful to reference to understand the context of the code system changes.
