2019 Medicare/Coding Webinar

Tuesday & Wednesday, March 26 and 27, 2018
Featuring KSEPS' Coding Consultant Joy Newby

 

Once again based on popular demand, KSEPS is pleased to continue 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 26 from 1:30 - 3:30 p.m.
    • Session 2 will be on Wednesday morning, March 27 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
  • We will record each session.  If you register for the live webinar, you can request 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.

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.
