Proficient Surgical Coding

Saturday, November 4th |Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile

8:00 am - 4:00 pm Central Standard Time

Cost: $925

Join us in discovering all you need to know for Orthopaedics to code and document accurately and efficiently in 2023. Each year brings coding and guideline changes, and it is more important now than ever to keep current on new and existing codes for coding accuracy. The 2023 AAOS Orthopaedic surgical procedure coding course sifts through all that is new and outstanding in Orthopaedic coding and packs it into an intensive, fast-paced day.

This year's agenda covers why documentation is as essential as the code selected, and how to capture all potential revenue by improving the specificity of your notes. We'll show you how the surgical global package impacts correct surgical payment modifier usage to optimize payment. You'll leave armed with ideas and techniques for setting up systems that reduce denials and increase successful appeals.

 This AAOS course also provides in depth and clinically relevant instruction on coding for Arthroplasties, Sports Medicine, Fracture care, Hand, Foot and Ankle and much more…

 Learn the latest coding, billing, and reimbursement strategies for new technology in ENT procedures. Finally, we’ll end with hands on coding of Orthopaedic operative reports and how documentation impacts the code selection process.

 Real-life cases and discussions that link clinical procedures to the selection of CPT codes make this course ideal for surgeons and coding staff. This course is packed with  examples of both office and hospital clinical scenarios with a comprehensive workbook that will become your first response coding resource.

MD Pro Solutions was founded by a group of medical practitioners and practice administrators who specialize in working with Ear Nose and Throat (ENT), Orthopedic (Ortho), and Plastic Surgery practices. Our experience helps us to understand and develop solutions for the medical billing and administrative business because we have lived it ourselves. MD Pro Solutions recognizes that the only way to successfully navigate the complex task of medical billing and office management is to stay on top of educational training and to have a firm grasp of the medical insurance industry.

Founded by a practicing physician and his patient, a successful software entrepreneur, our company, Modernizing Medicine, took a dramatically different approach to developing our electronic health records (EHR) systems. We hired doctors and taught them how to code. The result is highly custom software specifically designed for the needs of each specialty. With the help of our doctors who code, our platforms are built for speed and efficiency
