New at CAPC: January 2026

CAPC is constantly creating new products—and updating existing ones—to ensure you have the best tools and technical assistance to do your job. Here's an update about what we've done in January 2026.

The Billing and Coding Toolkit has been updated with an overview of recent changes. Features open-access and members-only resources, including:

2026 Billing Updates Overview
Summary of the changes to the Medicare fee schedule, with a focus on relevant codes for the palliative care team.

Palliative Care Billing 101
The basics of palliative care billing: terminology, who can bill, and strategies for reflecting the work of the palliative care team in Medicare billing.

Inpatient Billing: The Fundamentals
Review of inpatient E/M codes, including time-based billing vs. medical decision-making, prolonged services, and inpatient billing case examples.

Outpatient Billing: The Fundamentals

Serious illness comes with heavy burdens, many of which can be feasibly mitigated by the health care system. CAPC's new position statement, Expanding Screening for Unmet Palliative Needs, recommends expanding existing screening requirements and processes to ensure early identification of avoidable suffering in patients with serious illness and their caregivers.
