2017 Medicare/Coding Webinar

Tuesday & Wednesday, March 28 and 29, 2017
Featuring KSEPS' Coding Consultant Joy Newby

Once again from popular demand, KSEPS is pleased to offer a new format for our annual Coding and Medicare Workshops. . . a LIVE webinar!  Not only do you not have to drive to the meeting site, but you can have as many people at your location watch for one registration.  This will save you money and offers the opportunity for more members of your staff to benefit from the critical information shared during the seminar.

Here's how it works --

• The complete Coding and Medicare workshop material will be presented, but it will be split into two sessions of 2 hours each.
• Session 1 will be on Tuesday afternoon, March 28 from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m.
• Session 2 will be on Wednesday morning, March 29 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
• We will record each session.  If you register for the live webinar, you can request the DVD of the recording after the live sessions are presented for a nominal additional charge.
• If you cannot attend the live webinar, you can purchase just the recording for the same price as if you attended "live."
• During the live sessions, you will be able to ask questions of Joy Newby as the session progresses.  Realizing that some of you look forward to the opportunity to discuss issues specific to your practice, we'll have a means for you to submit those questions so Joy can respond directly to you after the webinar.

About Your Instructor...

Joy Newby has developed a true following among ophthalmology office managers, insurance billing staff and physicians in a number of Midwestern states.  She is president of Newby Consulting, Inc., a practice management consulting firm based in Indianapolis.  A recognized expert in Medicare coding, she serves the state ophthalmology societies in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin, as well as numerous individual physician practices and medical centers.

About the Program

This is a comprehensive presentation divided into two sessions.  It is the same material that normally is presented in the full-day in-person workshops we've offered in the past.  Your instructor will provide a detailed review of coding issues for ophthalmology.  Policies and procedures covered will be Kansas-specific.  Handout materials will be mailed to each contact person registered before the webinar.

Be sure to have your CPT coding manual handy.
