State and Local Society Coding Presentations

  |  Issue: May 2007  |  

The ACR Practice Advocacy Department will give programs to assist physicians with coding and reimbursement again this year. Last year, ACR coders spoke at more than 15 state and local societies.

ACR certified professional coders are available to present a one-hour coding seminar at your next state or local rheumatology meeting. This year’s program will help you identify the pitfalls of evaluation and management coding. A question-and-answer session will follow, so be sure to come prepared with questions.
