Two great companies come together to present a dynamic 16 hour seminar to be followed with the Radiation Oncology Certified Coder Exam (ROCC®) on Friday.
The seminar is led by industry experts: Carl R. Bogardus, Jr., M.D., Linda Lively, James Hugh and Scott Simmons. The team will teach a dynamic & intensive session on radiation oncology billing, compliance, and documentation.
Target Audience: Radiation Oncologists Radiation Therapists Facility Administrators Physicists Dosimetrists Nurses Billing Staff
Attendees receive the “Basic Principles of Billing, Coding & Compliance in Radiation Oncology,” by BMSi, and the AMAC manual, “Radiation Oncology: Coding, Billing, Documentation & Compliance”. These guides cover all of the Medicare rulings, an explanation of each code, along with examples. CPT codes will be discussed in-depth. Professional, technical and global billing will be addressed.
ROCC® CEUs will be awarded. Dosimetrists will receive credits for MCDB.
Approval is pending for ASRT, AAPC and AHIMA CEUs.
CEU Certificates will be provided following the end of the final session. No partial credit will be awarded for attending less than the designated activity planned time. Those participants leaving before the end of the final session will not receive CEU certificates. Keep in mind, this is a stipulation from the accrediting entities not a BMSi or AMAC rule.
