Vascular Coding Updates - Webinar

Includes a Live Web Event on 11/19/2025 at 12:00 PM (CST)

$79 |2026 Vascular Coding Update: Lower Extremity Revascularization, TEVAR, and More! Get ready—2026 ushers in a sweeping overhaul of vascular coding. The lower extremity revascularization code set for angioplasty, stenting, and atherectomy has been completely revamped, with 46 brand-new codes (yes, 46!) plus a dedicated set for distal interventions. These changes bring significant new coding and billing opportunities you won’t want to miss. But that’s not all—six new TEVAR codes are also on the horizon, including the long-awaited option for thoracic branch endograft (TBE) coding. Join Teri Romano, BSN, MBA, CMDP, a nationally recognized vascular coding expert and KZA consultant, as she breaks down these sweeping changes. As a faculty member of the Society for Vascular Surgery’s national coding course, Teri brings unmatched expertise to help you navigate this critical transition. This early, in-depth update will ensure you and your team are fully prepared when these changes take effect on January 1, 2026.

How to Survive an Audit: CERT, TPEs, OIG, Corporate Integrity, Etc.

Includes Credits

$99 | Knowledge is the Key to surviving a payor audit. Thorough and accurate documentation is essential to support all services billed. Healthcare providers must prioritize medical coding best practices to minimize errors and ensure compliance with coding guidelines. Failure to meet legal and regulatory standards in medical coding can result in costly audits for practices. With the increasing prevalence of healthcare fraud, Medicare, Medicaid, and private payors are paying closer attention to coding discrepancies. To avoid medical coding audits, practices must adhere to strict regulatory compliance and adopt best practices in coding. A good understanding of the type of audits, how to respond to an audit, and the steps to ensure compliance are essential for every medical practice.

Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) the Future of Medical Coding?

Includes Credits

$99| Healthcare organizations utilize Artificial Intelligence in many forms: Natural Language Processing, Deep Language Learning, Machine Learning, and Generative Artificial Intelligence. The coder's role is changing to require an elevated level of expertise. While AI offers many advantages, such as increased efficiency and reduced error rates, it is unlikely to replace human medical coders completely. Instead, AI may help coders focus on more complex, nuanced tasks while improving overall productivity.

60 Minutes

This course is AAPC accredited for 1 CEU. Note: CEUs expire on 3/30/2026

Learning Objectives:

• Review the future impact of the traditional coder role.
• Explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on medical coding.
• Review the advantages and disadvantages of using AI for medical coding

Note: This is a recording of a live event.
