Attend June Coding Courses in Newport Beach, California

With Medicare and third-party payer policy and coding changes taking effect in 2024, it is imperative that surgeons and their coding staff have accurate and up-to-date information to protect reimbursements and optimize efficiency. The next in-person ACS/KZA Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding course, June 21–22 at the Renaissance Newport Beach Hotel in California, can help.

The course includes two sessions:

2024 Spotlight on E/M and Office Procedure for the General Surgeon

Friday, June 21, 8:00 am–4:00 pm

Participants will learn how to properly apply elements of medical decision-making when selecting levels of evaluation and management (E/M) codes; correctly use E/M modifiers; identify key issues in nonphysician practitioner and critical care billing; and accurately code and document common office procedures.

Mastering General Surgery Coding and RVU Optimization

Saturday, June 22, 8:00 am–4:00 pm

Attendees will learn how to select correct codes (including new 2024 CPT codes) for common general surgery procedures; recognize the impact of modifiers on global periods and reimbursement; identify areas for improvement in surgical documentation; and manage precertification and preauthorization.
