Billing seminars

We offer both private member physician (for you and your staff) and general seminars.
Member physician billing seminars
We offer private billing seminars to AMA member physicians and their billing teams. At least one AMA member physician must be present throughout the seminar.
Typically taking about two hours, the private seminars are tailored to your practice's specific billing needs and are available to PCNs, general practitioners and specialists. There is no maximum number of attendees.
Currently, the private billing seminars are being offered as Zoom videoconferences only due to COVID-19.
