Project Management’s Role in Health Information Management – “A Coding Compliance Audit Case Study” By JJ Crumbley, MBA, PMP and Elizabeth Kelly, RHIA

It will share the project management techniques used to assess and improve the coding compliance audit functions of the company featured in the case study.

So You Think You Know ProFee Coding? By Vanessa Youmans, MA, CCS, CPC and Karen Youmans, MPA, RHIA, CCS

This presentation will describe the acquisition of a large medical group by a large hospital system with the lessons learned surrounding ProFee coding/billing practices versus hospital outpatient coding/billing practices. Many HIM professionals may assume that if they know the facility outpatient coding/billing processes that they will transition the ProFee coding/billing processes very easily. But there are many lessons learned in that transition. YES specializes in Coding Support services, so contact us today for help with ProFee coding, backlogs, and more!

Don’t forget to stop by booth #32 and visit us at the Quad-State Annual Meeting. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
