AAPM&R Sponsorship Opportunity:
Annual Assembly Preconference Courses
Coding and Billing Workshop
This is a PM&R-specific, one and a half day workshop designed to educate
physiatrists, office managers, office staff, and coders on current coding
and billing practices. The sessions will focus on correct coding of services
and procedures to assist practices in securing appropriate reimbursement
for physician and practice services from third party payers and others. This
will be achieved through the use of lectures, clinical vignettes, attendee
participation, and question and answer sessions.
The course focuses on the proper use of Evaluation and Management codes and
Documentation Guidelines, distinguishing correct coding methods for
electrodiagnostic and in-office procedures, apply techniques for
accurately coding interventional procedures, effectively negotiate managed
care contracts, and appropriately code for physician extenders and “incident
to” services.
This course attracts physicians and office staff alike and is consistently
sold out, with 100 attendees.

Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
This intensive one-day course is intended to provide participants with the
skills needed to begin performing diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound.
Though not meant to replace supervised training, this course will involve
didactics that will help the participant learn basic ultrasound principles.
The hands-on portion of the course will focus on the static and dynamic
ultrasound examination of the upper and lower limbs.
The course focuses on the advantages and disadvantages of diagnostic
musculoskeletal ultrasound compared to other imaging modalities, helps users
differentiate between the appearances of various tissues on diagnostic
musculoskeletal ultrasound, apply ultrasound basic concepts so as to ensure
proper visualization of musculoskeletal structures, and proficiently
perform a musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasound on various upper and lower
limbs.
This hands-on course is consistently sold-out.
As such an online version of
the course is available via AcadeME. The online course included portions of
the didactic session, as well as video and ultrasound imagining introducing
physicians to the concept of diagnostic ultrasound.
