The 2025 update to the Current Procedural Terminology[i] (CPT)® has 270 new codes, 38 revised codes, and 112 deleted codes. In addition, the ICD-10-CM[ii] update has over 300 revisions, additions and deletions. Although relatively few of these changes will impact radiology practices, it’s essential to know what they are and adjust your practice systems accordingly.

A radiology practice offering interventional procedures must stay current with documentation and coding for Evaluation and Management (E&M) services. Effective interventional radiology coding and billing IR procedures are crucial for financial success. Since these CPT®[i] codes in the 99xxx range are less commonly utilized in many radiology practices, identifying circumstances where E&M services are billable, and then properly documenting and coding for them, will require a collaborative effort between interventional radiologists (IR) and their coding team.
