Hey everyone! It’s time to announce our 2012 Coding Growth Strategies conference schedule. But first, let me introduce a couple of new conference activities we are going to incorporate for 2012. I’m very excited about these new activities and hopefully they will offer you a chance to enhance your learning experience.
We will be using the same pricing as in previous years; $425 single attendee, $295 additional attendees from the same group. To sign up multiple people from the same group call David toll-free at 866-335-2040 or print off a registration form.
For those early birds that want to put stuff on this year’s taxes we have a coupon for $125 off if you sign up or buy the videos before January 1st. Enter the coupon code listed for each conference, at checkout and your discount will be applied.
The biggest new activity is we will now have follow-up sessions available via webinar following the conferences. In 2012 we will schedule a total of 6 one hour sessions where you will be able to attend and submit questions and difficult coding cases. By attending a live conference or ordering the video/audio materials, you will qualify to attend these sessions. As a special bonus, anyone that signs up before January 1 will be able to attend as many of these as you wish. If you are unable to attend, they will be available for viewing online at your convenience. Webinar dates will be announced later.
Also this year we are introducing the Coding Lightning Round. All conference attendees will have the opportunity to submit a particularly challenging coding case before the conference. We will take these and compile them into a coding workbook. As a group, we will dig through these and determine what the note is as written, what ‘should’ be the level of service, and what is missing in order to get there. More information to come.
This year we are adding a section on ‘other coding.’ You should all be familiar with our Risk ‘cheat sheet’ where you can quickly identify the coding requirements needed for outpatient visits. As a bonus this year we will be including a handful of other templates that you can use in your practice. These include inpatient, consultations, nursing home visits, newborn hospital care, and ICU. Once you become an ‘expert’ in outpatient E&M coding, we will show you how to use these new templates to code any visit you might come across. These will be available with the purchase of the live conference or the video/audio materials.
If you pre-order the new Coding Growth Strategies video/audio (available around the 2nd week of January, Promotion Code: CODINGDVD) you will be enrolled in our new online education website. On it you will have access to the entire 6 hour video that you can watch from any computer with internet. You can also download the syllabus and audio files as desired. You can take your test online and claim your credit that same day. I’m very excited about this new system and will send out more information when it is completed in the next couple weeks.
