Physician Assistants in Orthopaedic Surgery
As healthcare changes, we need to know how to appropriately code our work to optimize reimbursement for our orthopaedic care.
Due to the overwhelming positive response to the coding/reimbursement workshop last year, PAOS is pleased to announce we are able to offer the workshop again this year on Monday, October 22, 2012, provided by Mary LeGrand,RN, MA, CCS-P, CPC, from KZA. Mary is a nationally known coding and reimbursement expert and is an instructor for KZA's national coding and reimbursement workshop series, sponsored by the the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. She is a regular featured speaker and consultant nationally for specialty societies, state societies, and academic centers. Mary publishes regularly on coding and documentation related issues. More information about the coding/billing course will be forthcoming.
** This program is pending approval for a maximum of 30 hours (26 hours main conference and 4 hours for optional coding workshop) of AAPA Category I CME credit by the Physician Assistant Review Panel. The main conference course is also pending approval for 24 CEUs from the Board of Certification.
