Codequest™ provides expert coding instruction for practices of every size and specialty.
Ophthalmologists and their staff all play a crucial role in patient care and your practice's financial health. Join the most knowledgeable coding experts in ophthalmology for four hours of professional coding education essential to your success. We’ll map out the latest critical updates, review key competencies, crosswalk to all subspecialties, and steer you towards successful solutions for appropriately maximizing reimbursements.
Developed by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, Codequest is the best way to protect your practice from claim denials and audit recoupments.
Who should attend?
The entire ophthalmic practice team, including the physicians, technicians, scribes, billers and coders, compliance officers, front desk team, and administrators.
Topics for the Four-Hour Session
• Connect with the "Why": See how your understanding of coding improves efficiencies, contributes to stronger compliance, and pays off in real-world outcomes.
• Own Your Audit Strategy: Stay ahead of payer scrutiny related to modifier 25 and down coding, sharpen your documentation, and turn audit insights into accountable action.
• To Bill or Not to Bill: Make confident billing decisions with practical examples from current hot topics ensuring compliance and patient trust.
• Coding Competency Challenge: Test your skills and gain expert insights into frequently encountered coding questions to enhance your expertise and drive better outcomes.
