ICD-10-CM Coding Update

Be Prepared for October 1st
Major changes are coming to the ICD-10-CM code set effective October 1, 2025, with updates impacting a wide range of medical specialties. The FY 2026 update includes 487 new codes, 38 revised codes, and 28 deletions. Failure to prepare could result in delayed claims and lost revenue.

Highlights of the 2026 update include:
  • 110+ new codes for non-pressure ulcers, organized by body site and severity
  • New symptom and sign codes for the digestive system and abdomen, including fifth-digit requirements for coding abdominal and pelvic pain
  • Expanded R codes for more precise reporting of tenderness and pain in the pelvic, perineal, subpubic, abdominal, and flank areas
  • New code for cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (CHS)
  • Z code additions for documenting social determinants of health (SDoH)
  • Two new subcategories in the Genitourinary chapter
  • Multiple changes in Chapter 13: Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System
  • New code for fluoroquinolone antibiotic poisoning
  • Increased specificity requirements for eyelid inflammation
These changes affect clinical areas including Oncology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Nephrology, Gastroenterology, Pain Management, Ophthalmology, Gynecology, Primary and Urgent Care, Emergency Medicine, and more.

Why Attend this Session?
Stay ahead of the curve with a comprehensive review of the ICD-10-CM code changes and associated coding guidelines for services provided October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. 

Live, Interactive Learning and Practical Resources
Registration includes a digital companion with a summary of code changes plus a bonus chapter specific file - a helpful resource beyond the classroom. 

An ICD-10-CM code set manual is not required but may be helpful to reference to understand the context of the code system changes.

This training will help your team:
  • Identify templates, encounter forms, and documentation tools that may need updated and/or replaced
  • Prepare you to collaborate with your practice management system and EHR vendors to update coding and billing software
  • Understand the documentation requirements linked to new and revised codes
  • Avoid relying solely on EMR auto-coding, which often lacks required specificity
Anyone involved in coding or revenue cycle management, including medical coders, billers, providers, managers, consultants and compliance officers, are encouraged to attend this annual update session. Learn how the 2026 code set changes will impact claims beginning October 1.

Don’t let coding changes catch your team off guard. Register today to stay informed, compliant, and ready
