Every year, important revisions are made to the ICD-10-PCS system — and FY26 is no exception. With implementation of the 2026 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Final Rule taking effect October 1, 2025, now is the time to prepare for numerous changes to ICD-10-PCS codes, guidelines, and definitions that can significantly impact your facility’s reimbursement and compliance risk.
To help you get ahead of these updates, ICD10monitor presents the second session in our FY26 IPPS Masterclass series. This essential webcast will provide expert instruction and actionable insights to support accurate, compliant procedure coding.

Adding clinical context to support better understanding and documentation practices, physician and CDI authority Dr. James Kennedy will share his expert insights on how the FY26 changes may affect your clinical workflows and CDI programs.
PLUS, the webcast will be interactive, giving you the opportunity to get expert answers to you questions!
