Major Changes Announced for Upcoming Coordination and Maintenance Committee

The Federal Register has published a change to the Sept. 9-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee Meeting. The Federal Register states that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will not present Procedure Code System (PSC) code topics during the Fall Meeting. Rather, instead, CMS will post the ICD-10-PCS code topic materials online and provide time for public comments.

The comments can be sent to ICDProcedureCodeRequest@cms.hhs.gov. There are two deadlines based on the requested implementation date. For a requested April 1, 2026 implementation, the deadline is Oct. 10, 2025. For a requested Oct. 1, 2026 implementation, the deadline is Nov. 14, 2025.

CMS will post a questions-and-answers document with the comments.
