The worlds of coding and revenue cycle management continue to evolve as technological advancements reshape healthcare delivery. The American Medical Association (AMA) has introduced significant updates to CPT coding for 2026 to reflect these changes, particularly in wound care. These updates aim to improve diagnostic accuracy, support emerging technologies
such as augmented intelligence (AI), and enhance reimbursement structures (O’Reilly, 2025). One major advancement is the inclusion of AI-supported diagnostics. New CPT codes now recognize services such as multispectral imaging for burn wounds, allowing providers to better determine whether wounds are healing or non-healing. This ensures that advanced diagnostic tools can be accurately reported and reimbursed rather than absorbed into general evaluation services (West Coast Wound & Skin Care, 2026).

Additionally, remote patient monitoring has also been expanded, with new codes allowing services to be reported over shorter timeframes ranging from two to fifteen days. This supports timely clinical intervention while maintaining appropriate reimbursement. Additionally, 46 new codes have been introduced for leg revascularization procedures, reflecting advancements in outpatient care and treatment planning for patients with limited mobility (West Coast Wound & Skin Care, 2026).

Further updates include reduced time requirements for treatment management services, with new codes allowing reporting after ten minutes per month instead of twenty. Coding structures have also been updated to better support coordination between mobile and clinic-based wound care services (West Coast Wound & Skin Care, 2026). As wound care coding becomes increasingly complex, accurate documentation and coding is essential. HIA’s medical coding and wound care services support healthcare organizations by ensuring compliance, improving reimbursement accuracy, and reducing denials for these specialized services. One of HIA’s earliest initiatives in the medical coding landscape, we continue our advances to evolve and adapt to the ever growing changes in the field of wound care coding and beyond.

Lindsay joined HIA in August 2025 and has been a valuable asset to our team. She possesses a strong work ethic and has demonstrated exceptional leadership skills as the Lead Trauma Abstractor for UConn. Lindsay played a crucial role in restoring the UConn Trauma program following the transition to ESO, showcasing both dedication and effective problem-solving abilities during a critical period. Furthermore, the results she has achieved for our other Trauma clients have been impressive as well.
