2027 CPT Code Transition: Provider Readiness Checklist

On January 1, 2027, the adaptive behavior code family will have important changes. That means authorizations to remap, session note templates to update, and payor timelines to track. Practices that wait until January to sort through it will spend Q1 chasing denials instead of collecting revenue.

This checklist gives you a 5-stage action plan to work through together before the cutover date. Each stage has concrete steps your team can check off as you go, from understanding which codes affect your current authorizations through monitoring rejected claims in early 2027.
