2024 Evaluation & Management Coding: 
Deep Dive with Updates (repeat from February)

Presented by: Karen Scott, MEd, RHIA, CCS-P, CPC, FAHIMA

We are repeating this topic on a regular basis because nothing helps you learn better than repetition. 

BUT there will not be a new certificate if you already did the February program.

This updated 2024 program is an intensive, detailed review of all those evaluation and management coding changes over the last few years with difficult cases to review and some coding practice cases.

Please have your coding manuals prepared to participate in some exercises.

Do you have questions about specific cases?
