Two different offerings
We have the Fall updates to the code set for those who know how to code. Then we have a single webinar that introduces how to assign ICD-10 codes, and finally, a six part series for the MDSC who wants a deep dive into practicing following the notes and instructions for the body systems (chapters) that we use the most in LTC. Listen to Judy's 5 minute video explainer to help decide.
