Cardiology 2026: Remote Monitoring & Vascular Updates

Remote Physiologic Monitoring (RPM) Overhaul

CMS has overhauled RPM codes for 2026. The generic "cloud data" codes are being phased out in favor of device-specific monitoring codes.

New Category III Codes

  • 07X1T: Continuous wearable cardiac output monitoring (remote), > 7 days
  • 07X2T: AI-detected arrhythmia verification by technician

Vascular Intervention Changes

Lower extremity revascularization codes (37220-37235) now carry stricter documentation requirements for medical necessity, specifically regarding ABI testing dated within 3 weeks of the procedure.

Actionable Steps

  1. Review all RPM device contracts for CPT 2026 compliance.
  2. Ensure vascular notes include specific vessel outcome predictions.
