How to stay ahead of the changing CCTA reimbursement landscape
Cardiac imaging programs are bracing for significant changes as new federal rules, codes and payment structures revise how coronary CT angiography and advanced analytics are reimbursed. This makes it critical for organizations to have a firm understanding of the CMS 2026 Final Rule to bolster reimbursement, plan service lines and ensure continued access to CCTA, FFR-CT and AI-enabled plaque analysis.
Join us this Thursday for a webinar and live Q&A that will break down everything organizations need to know about the changing reimbursement landscape. During the session, radiology management experts will explain how Heartflow FFR-CT, plaque analysis and roadmap analysis work, review the current Medicare and commercial payer policies and break down what the 2026 CMS Final Rule means for practices. Discussions will cover the new Category 1 code for AI-Enabled Coronary Plaque Analysis, projected 2026 payment rates and best practices for integrating plaque analysis into clinical workflows.
The webinar also will feature actionable tips from experts on order sets, workflows and operational success. Featured speakers will provide guidance on revenue codes, managing prior authorization and working with physicians to improve reimbursement as well.
This session is designed for imaging administrators, revenue and coding leaders, physicians, service line directors and health system executives preparing for 2026.
