Billing and Coding Workshops

ACNM announces the roll-out of regional workshops designed to help coding professionals and health care providers build their knowledge, accuracy and performance in billing and coding for women’s health care services.

At this unique all-day workshop, Joan Slager, CNM, CPC, MSN, FACNM will use real life case studies to provide participants with tools needed to improve their knowledge of the nuances of billing and coding for women’s health services. Accurate and legally compliant coding is essential to the financial health of all health care practices.

“Correct coding captures all of the hard work health care providers do, translates that work into revenue, and demonstrates the value contributed to the practice by the health care provider.” - Joan Slager, CNM, CPC
