- What makes this workshop any different than all the others out there?
This workshop, "EVALUATION and MANAGEMENT CODING ESSENTIALS," is a unique presentation from the perspective of a practicing healthcare provider. Many other workshops currently being conducted are presented by accountants or business managers. While their perspective is vital, it lacks the experience of actually seeing the patient and practicing medicine. Our workshop focuses on the issues that pertain to today's healthcare practice, detailing the elements of exam and the criteria that determine which level of service can be billed for in the office, the hospital and other areas covered by Evaluation and Management codes. Participants will develop confidence in the ability to select the correct code based on the work actually done by the provider.
