In the 2026 revisions to CPT® codes, there are revised guidelines for the section Coronary Therapeutic Services and Procedures. Six existing add-on codes that reported additional interventions in the coronary branches are deleted, and base codes are revised to include the branches of the same coronary artery within the descriptions of the codes themselves. A new definition was introduced to identify “coronary segments” which is integral to the new guidance. There is a new code for a complex PCI stenting procedure involving bifurcations or multiple lesions of the same vessel and a new code for chronic total occlusion procedures using combined retrograde and antegrade approaches. This webinar will describe heart anatomy, procedures with case examples and what modifiers to use.
After the webinar, participants will be able to:
-
Identify relevant cardiac anatomy
-
Recognize HCPCS II coronary vessel modifiers
-
Assign CPT® codes for common percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) such as angioplasty, stents, and atherectomy
-
Apply knowledge with practical case examples
