Who Should Attend?

Physicians

Physicians are responsible for the accurate selection of evaluation and management levels and ultimately held accountable for the coding of services provided in the medical practice.
Nurses

Nurses need a complete understanding of coding rules applicable to nursing services and physicians.
Administrators and Office Managers

Although they are not coders, they must oversee office compliance with billing and reimbursement rules and be able to conduct internal audits of charts for compliance programs. Understanding proper coding will enable the Administrator/Office Manager to better evaluate performance of staff.
Coders

Coders need continuing education to stay abreast of changes.
Front Desk Receptionists

Front Desk enters all data and must understand the data in order to catch errors.
Accounts Receivable Managers

A/R posts the payments and without knowledge of proper coding will not be able to identify the cause of denied claims.
Billing Services

Entire staff should be educated and updated to better serve clients.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE "ON THE SAME PAGE."

COMPLIANCE WITH BILLING AND REIMBURSEMENT ISSUES MANDATES TRAINING AND EDUCATION OF STAFF WHICH RELATES TO JOB SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES.
