Description:

It’s more important than ever to keep current with an understanding of new and existing codes which depend on coding accuracy. The 2024 Otolaryngology surgical procedure coding course sifts through all that is new and important in Otolaryngology coding and packs it into an intensive, fast-paced day. This year's agenda covers all you need to know to code and document accurately and efficiently in 2024 and beyond.
