Office Based Anesthesia Service for Tampa, FL

The American Academy of professional coders is having a fantastic chapter seminar today which starts 7:15 AM.  It is their local billing and coding symposium and you can get 7 CEU’s!  If you are practice manager,  Biller, coder,   healthcare provider, or a physician who wants to better understand where the money comes from and how to get paid, you need to be there.

There will be a vendor booth section as well and people are coming from as far away as Miami!  See speaker roster below and I urge you to become a certified professional coder and certified practice manager if you’re not on yet.  It is only way to get paid with the insurance companies continuing to restrict reimbursements.  Remember if you are a physician, all billing and coding errors are done under your license.  If there is an error, it is considered  health care fraud.  If we charge you with Medicaid fraud, and successfully prosecute you.  Under new Florida law,  your license to practice.  So it is actually very important for you are someone from your staff to come to these type of events.  Also come to events like these to learn how to be audit proof when your RAC audit comes to her facility/physician’s office.
