IGNORING PROBLEMS
DOESN’T MAKE
THEM GO AWAY
IT’S TIME TO FOCUS
ON YOUR BUSINESS
S
ince so many of our members attend AAPPM conferences for timely business information, we decided
to have a conference specifically focused on billing, coding, and business. This meeting will be
held outside of Phoenix, AZ at the San Marcos Golf Resort. There you will have two days focusing
exclusively on billing, coding, and business without feeling like you’re missing out on other workshops
and lectures. This two-day experience will provide you plenty of information to focus on the inner workings of
your practice to make your business thrive!
Today’s healthcare environment is a moving target. You need to be armed with the best and most current
information available to make sure you’re up to date and know what’s coming around the next corner. This
two-day workshop is just what you’re looking for!
Make sure you bring all of your unanswered questions and frustrations with the business of your practice. Our
speakers are not only there to lecture, but provide answers and guide you to success. They are there to be
approached and want to help YOU not just succeed but THRIVE in your practice.
Don’t come alone! There is a two-day training for your medical assistants to receive the most updated
information to enhance their jobs and to make your day run smoothly and efficiently. While you’re learning
on bettering your business, your team will be learning on how to improve their side of the practice to build your
business as well. Let us train your support staff and get everyone on the same page!
What are you waiting for? Review what the conference has to offer, register now, secure your flight and hotel,
and look forward to a professional experience like none other. We look forward to seeing you there!
HERE’S A PREVIEW
FRIDAY, MAY 13
An Intense Focus on Billing, Coding, and Charting
One of the most requested, and needed, workshops is Billing and Coding. Rightfully so! We survived the initial implementation of ICD-10. Now we have to focus on
upcoming changes to meaningful use, PQRS, and even look at ICD-10 with the upcoming increased specificity requirement. We also need to re-focus on proper
coding and reimbursement, and ensure that our charting accurately supports your coding to make sure you are successful in defending an audit. We will provide
fresh and new ideas to maximize your practice potential with clean and proper coding techniques. We will help you navigate the upcoming changes in healthcare
and health policy.
Topics Include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Updates on CPT, ICD-10, PQRS, and Meaningful Use
Proper coding for various clinical scenarios
Patient Collection Strategies
Coding Compliance
Coding for DME and Wound Care
and MUCH MORE!
SATURDAY, MAY 14
Tools for Business Success
A podiatric practice is a small (and sometimes not so small) business. Practitioners, however, are not equipped with basic business skills to thrive in business.
Learning on the job is not efficient and often leads to errors that will greatly affect your practice. This day of NEW CONTENT will address many areas of concern for
the practicing foot and ankle specialist and will result in a better understanding of business principles.
Business Principles include:
•
•
•
•
Human Resources: Hiring the Best Team for Success
The Economics of Running a Small Business
Revenue Cycle Management: Keeping the Cash Flowing
Crystal Ball: Looking towards the Future of Podiatric Practice
FRIDAY, MAY 13 – SATURDAY, MAY 14
Comprehensive Medical Assistant Training
Your medical assistants are the lifeblood of your practice. They help to ensure that your practice runs efficiently and effectively. They are largely responsible for
patient satisfaction and compliance, as well. In short, your assistants make you look good!
Whether your team is brand new, or has years of experience, this two-day training course will enhance their understanding of your practice and increase their skills
to add value to your practice. Important information and skills that all MA’s need to know will be put to the test with hands on training.
Day 1 of the medical assistant track delivers comprehensive education and training on the often overlooked administrative side of medical assisting. Medical
assistants will learn from DPM and PMAC experts alike, taking home valuable tools and techniques to improve the day to day administrative responsibilities from
managing the schedule to collecting payments.
Day 2 of the medical assistant track focuses on the ever important clinical aspect of medical assisting. A panel of practice management leaders will teach
attendees through hands on training and interaction how to perform to a new level of competence and proficiency within the back office. Medical assistants will
take away turnkey tips and systems to enhance clinical methods and procedures from routine care to surgical interventions.
Friday evening join us for Wine Tasting and Cigars Under the Stars!
This is a social event with your colleagues and the conference speakers. While you are there, enjoy from a selection of fine wines and, if you like, have a cigar. The
reception is sponsored by Top Practices and BAKO Integrated Physician Solutions.
