Synopsis: Now in its sixth year, Coding Camp takes place this year on Saturday in the same location as the Academy meeting as part of the AAOE Course offerings. This intensive full-day meeting will enhance participants’ knowledge of proper coding and documentation in order to appropriately maximize reimbursement. Non-members can attend the AAOE Coding Camp without registering for the 2008 Joint Meeting.
This program will be of value to physicians, as well as to administrators, billers, coders, office managers and ophthalmic medical personnel - all of whom should be educated on coding protocol. Coding Camp will empower the entire coding team with information of the newest rules and regulations for documentation.
With coverage on all subspecialties, participants will learn to code exams, consultations, special testing services and major and minor surgical procedures.
