  Coding and Billing for the Foot and Ankle Surgeon

  Join us for a virtual interactive and comprehensive workshop covering pertinent issues related to properly coding surgical procedures and evaluation and management services. Previous attendees of the ACFAS workshop Coding and Billing for the Foot and Ankle Surgeon now code more efficiently and effectively and have seen increased reimbursement. By learning how to code just one or two procedures properly, you will cover the cost of this course and see an immediate return on investment in your own practice.

  Learning Objectives

  • Understand trends in surgical coding, including how to code for new advances in the practice of foot and ankle surgery
  • Appropriately select modifiers for complex, staged, and multiple procedure cases
  • Understand where higher level E&M codes fit into your surgical practice

  New! ACFAS Practice Management Learning Series. Join us for consecutive days of coding and billing education - Coding Fundamentals and Coding and Billing for the Foot and Ankle Surgeon full course. Register for both or for the one that best fits your level of knowledge of coding and billing.

  Start with Coding Fundamentals, which helps lay down your foundation of coding and billing knowledge before taking the full Coding and Billing for the Foot and Ankle Surgeon course. In Coding Fundamentals you will learn the foundation of the coding and billing process, including: an overview of E&M CPT Codes; an explanation of the most common modifiers and how to use them; in-office procedure coding; case scenarios and a dedicated Q&A -- all from expert colleagues. The course is for residents, fellows, new practitioners, office staff of foot and ankle surgeons or anyone who wants to learn more of the basic coding and billing terminology and process.
