At CV Transforum Fall’25 in Austin, I found myself discussing the 2026 coding changes with a cardiovascular provider. As a coding expert, it struck me how often these conversations highlight the wide range of perspectives and experiences across our field – and how quickly the reimbursement policies affecting cardiovascular care continue to evolve. Many of us have been working in cardiovascular care long enough to remember the last major overhaul of lower extremity coding back in 2011. Since then, the world – and our specialty – has changed profoundly. Advances in technology, new devices, expanded treatment options, and evolving clinical practice patterns have outpaced the structure of the current codes.
