Don't let ED coding rob you of appropriate reimbursement.
Coding in the ED can be overwhelming. And determining who did what and when can be nearly impossible, especially when other specialists are involved in ED care and documentation isn’t clear.
Join Caral Edelberg, CPC, CCS-P, CHC for this 1-hour audio session to get into the nitty-gritty of the wide range of medical, diagnostic and surgical services ED providers use to care for their patients.
