Target Audience

• Physicians with financial and coding responsibility for their medical practice should attend this conference to learn strategies to maximize reimbursement from payers as well as enhance their chart documentation skills.
• Practice managers are also encouraged to attend so that they can better work with their physicians to implement these coding and documenting changes.
• Physician Assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses and medical assistants are others who will benefit from the knowledge shared as they all can have influence as to how coding is done within a medical practice.

Desired Learning Outcomes

At completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to:

1. Engage providers in coding to the fullest extent with ICD and CPT, as well as documenting to ethically maximize reimbursement and minimize liability.
2. To understand the basics of coding and implement changes in 2020 E&M coding using clinical scenarios.
3. To recognize and implement coding strategies for opportunities and challenges: time-based and procedural coding, care management services and value-based healthcare delivery.
