<p style="text-align: justify;">Our 2012 <a href="http://www.mediquickps.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Winter-Coding-Conference-Brochure3.pdf">Winter Coding Conference </a> consists of four separate seminars and the attendee can select those that meet their specific educational needs.    These seminars have been designed to be useful and applicable to coders, billers, office managers, practice administrators and even physicians.  </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>ICD-10 Training and Workshop,</strong></span> <span style="color: #800080;"><strong>2012 CPT and ICD-9 Coding Updates, <span style="color: #0000ff;">Advanced Coding and Skill Development</span> </strong></span>and <span style="color: #003300;"><strong>Maximizing Physician Reimbursement </strong><span style="color: #000000;">are offered throughout the month of January</span></span> and there is certainly something for everyone.   Each seminar you attend is approved for <strong><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">6 CEUs</span></span> </strong>which allows the opportunity to earn up to <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">24 CEUs</span></strong> at a very reasonable rate. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unlike traditional webinars, the Winter Conference series presents the material with the benefit of  face-to-face communication with the instructor which allows for questions, discussion and increased knowledge.  All seminars are taught by an experienced American Academy of Professional Coders approved instructor (CPC-I) who has earned a reputation for quality in content through years of public speaking and classroom education.   To top it off, the structure of this conference series is &#8230; <span style="color: #800000;"><em><strong>THE MORE</strong> </em></span><strong><span style="color: #800000;"><em>YOU LEARN, THE MORE YOU WILL SAVE!!</em></span>  </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Please view the 2012 Winter Coding Conference brochure for more information on each seminar as well as pricing information.  Simply select which seminar(s) you would like to attend and fax or mail the completed <a href="http://www.mediquickps.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Winter-Coding-Conference-Registration-Form1.pdf">registration form</a> to MediQuick Physician Services.  If you have any questions regarding any of the seminars being offered, please contact our office at 817-923-5553 and our Education Coordinator will be happy to assist you.</p>
