Knowledge of these coding/billing materials will allow correct reimbursements and avoidance of denials and loss of payments.

Why should you attend?

Basic and advanced procedure coding will be explained using specific clinical examples, with modifier use, and correct use of ICD-10 codes. Coding tips for correct urogynecological procedure coding will be stressed with tips to get it right the first time and thus avoid claim denials and revenue loss.

  • and much more.  

Who should attend this event:

 Urologists, gynecologists, and any surgeon involved now or in the near future in the performance of urogynecological procedures should attend to learn proper coding and to help them from losing entitled payments.
