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.
Joy also serves as an ongoing Medicare and coding consultant for KSEPS and manages our coding help desk. Through this program, KSEPS members are able to get their coding questions answered by submitting a "help form." A personalized answer will be provided, usually within a few days.

Note:Sleeping rooms were available through the hotel's online reservation system as of March 13 for the night before the conference (Thursday, March 27). We are talking to our conference manager, however, to see if some rooms can be "held" for our group. If you need a hotel room and are having trouble making a reservation, please call the KSEPS administrative office at 800-838-3627 and we'll try to help. It is our understanding there is a wrestling tournament at the Expo Center that weekend, so the hotel probably is sold-out on Friday night (the night after our workshop).
