      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-size: 30px; color: rgb(13, 0, 76);"&gt;ICD-10-CM Coding Update&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#0D004C" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don’t let improperly coded claims break your revenue cycle!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join us for a practical review of the ICD-10-CM updates that will impact claims, compliance, and reimbursement effective October 1, 2026. Learn what practices must know about 1CD-10-CM code set changes to stay compliant and be paid correctly. Review of coding guidelines and be informed of the latest changes to the code set. The FY 2027 update affects coding of many common conditions. New and revised codes provide greater specificity for cancers, blood disorders, liver disease, plantar fasciitis, sinusitis, BMI reporting, and other frequently reported diagnoses.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You'll Learn:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• Review FY 2027 code additions, revisions, and deletions&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• Understand the coding guidelines and identify common affected diagnoses&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• Learn documentation tips to support accurate code selection and medical necessity&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• Recognize which templates, forms, and workflows require updates&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• Prepare for payer implementation and avoid claim delays&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• New cardiomyopathy codes including arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• Expanded secondary malignant neoplasm codes with greater anatomical specificity&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• New codes for low blood sugar following surgery&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• Enhanced reporting options for platelet disorders and blood conditions&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• New code for moderate (Stage F2) hepatic fibrosis&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;• New code for intestinal failure-associated liver disease&lt;/p&gt;
