ICD-10 updates affect every claim your practice submits. This year's changes are lighter than last year's (209 vs. 544!)—but there are still important ones to know, including new codes for vanishing twin syndrome and hereditary cancer syndromes like Lynch syndrome and BRCA1/BRCA2.

We broke it all down so your coding team doesn't have to dig through the full code book: https://www.cgm.com/usa_en/articles/articles/icd-10-code-changes-for-2027-what-coders-and-billers-need-to-know.html

New ICD-10 code additions, revisions, and deletions are on the way. Get ahead of them before they take effect on October 1.

Join us for ARIA Academy, our free educational webinar series led by our billing and coding experts, for a full breakdown of the 2027 changes, plus focused sessions on sepsis coding, OBGYN updates, injury sequencing, and Z status codes.

This isn't just for practices—the sepsis and septicemia sequencing guidance we'll cover has direct implications for lab reporting too.

Ever wonder what actually happens between "doctor orders a test" and "result is in the chart"? Here's a look at how CGM LABDAQ automates that entire workflow for freestanding ERs—no paper, no manual re-entry, no bottlenecks.

Full breakdown here: https://www.cgm.com/usa_en/articles/articles/lab/choosing-a-laboratory-information-system-lis-for-freestanding-ers-and-micro-hospitals.html

A freestanding ER lab doesn't get the luxury of a big hospital's staff or scale—it has to do more with less, faster, 24/7. That's exactly why the right laboratory information system matters so much here.

We put together a guide on what freestanding ERs and micro-hospitals should look for in an LIS, and how CGM LABDAQ was built for this kind of fast-paced environment.

Take a look at what a truly connected practice looks like.

EHR, lab, claims, billing, and patient outreach—all working together instead of five separate systems that don't talk to each other. This is what we help new practices build from day one.

Launching a new practice with a lab? There's a lot to plan for, and how well your systems talk to each other matters just as much as what's in the exam room.

We put together a guide on building a connected practice from day one: EHR, lab, billing, and patient outreach, all working together.

Two years. One regulatory fight. Here's how we got here.

Catch up on the full story, including what the bill could mean for your lab: https://www.cgm.com/usa_en/articles/articles/lab/the-enhancing-clia-act-of-2026-what-h-r-8890-means-for-laboratory-developed-tests.html

Big changes have been proposed for how laboratory developed tests (LDTs) are regulated.

The Enhancing CLIA Act of 2026 (H.R. 8890) would permanently settle a two-year fight over whether LDTs are overseen by the FDA or by CMS under CLIA, while adding requirements labs haven't seen before.

We break down what's in the bill, where it stands, and what it could mean for your lab: https://www.cgm.com/usa_en/articles/articles/lab/the-enhancing-clia-act-of-2026-what-h-r-8890-means-for-laboratory-developed-tests.html

Is your practice getting shortchanged on E&M reimbursements? Payers are increasingly down-coding claims without clinical justification—and most practices don't know how to fight back.

Join us Tuesday, July 21 at 2PM ET for a free ARIA Academy webinar where our RCM and coding experts will show you exactly how to spot unjustified down-coding, appeal it successfully, and prevent it from happening in the first place.

Did you know remote patient monitoring and chronic care management are two of the most underutilized Medicare reimbursement opportunities available to practices today?

If your practice has never explored RPM or CCM—or has been doing it informally without a real program in place—this free ARIA Academy webinar is for you.

Join us Wednesday, June 24 at 2PM ET, as our population health experts walk you through everything you need to know to evaluate whether these services are right for your practice.
