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.
Coding Changes That Will Impact Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology Practices in 2025 on January 27, 2025
Categories: interventional radiology, CPT codes, diagnostic radiology, E&M, evaluation and management
A radiology practice that includes interventional procedures has to be up to date on the use of documentation and coding techniques for Evaluation and Management (E&M) services. 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.
