subject: Get Help In Medical Coding Updates And Ceus [print this page] As a medical coder, you have to be constantly on the move, trying to get the latest medical coding update. If you feel you are not up to the mark as far as your coding is concerned, the best bet is signing up for an audio conference. Unlike the medical coding conferences where you need to travel the distance to take part, these audio conferences do not require you to be present at the venue as you can attend them from the comforts of your office or home.
At such a conference, a nationally-renowned coding expert will take you through a one-hour audio event which will provide you an overview of the most important coding information every healthcare professional should be aware of.
To add to it, these conferences will also provide you with knowledge that will help your organization and your relationship with your coding and billing staff. What's more, if you are eyeing a medical coding certification, such a conference will be of immense help to you.
An audio conference will tell you what needs to be coded, what are CPT, ICD-9 Codes and HCPCS codes and when and how coders should use them; what a claim looks like, provide you an introduction to ICD-10 and how it's going to affect the coding industry, and lots more.
Not only will you walk home with all the coding know-how, but also get to earn CEUs on attending such conferences. And if you happen to miss the conferences for some reason, you can always go for CDs and PDF transcripts so that you can train your staff as per your schedule.
