Description

Better clinical care and patient satisfaction – and more referrals!

Every day eyecare professionals are missing revenue opportunities because they just don’t know the basics or are overly concerned with “red flags” and being audited. This seminar focuses on optimizing coding and documentation compliance first. Only then can you bill every office visit and procedure at the appropriate and highest compliant level without fear. Learn how to work smarter, not harder.
