LIVE STREAMED: Compliance, Coding, Reimbursement,
and Practice Management Boot Camp for the Audiology
Practice
LIVE STREAMED TO YOUR HOME OR OFFICE VIA MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND AUDIOLOGY RESOURCES!
Audiology Resources will be hosting a LIVE STREAMED (from Chicago) Audiology Boot Camp: Compliance, Coding, Reimbursement, and Practice Management for the Audiology Practice on Thursday, February 8, 2018 and Friday, February 9, 2018. There will be no live audience in Chicago. The course will run Thursday and Friday from 8AM to 5:30PM. There will be a 15 minute morning and afternoon break and a 45 minute lunch break each day.
We know it is harder and harder each day for individuals to leave their practices and homes to attend a live event. We also know that the costs of travel, both the time and money, are difficult for many practices to absorb. Audiology Resources wants to be the first in the industry to offer our Boot Camp to you directly in your home or office. We have hired a noted Chicago live streaming firm, MainStream Media, to bring the Boot Camp directly to you. Even though you are viewing this remotely, you will still have the ability to ask questions, in real time, earn continuing education hours, and get copies of the materials.
Before you register, please do not forget to check your internet download speeds at your home or office (wherever you plan to view the event). While we can control the bandwidth of the outgoing signal, we cannot control your download speed capacity on your internet. Mainstream Media, our live stream vendor, suggests a download capacity of, at least 10MBps (if you can watch a two minute YouTube video without buffering, you should have the bandwidth to view the Boot Camp). You can conduct a test of your internet download speed at http://beta.speedtest.net. Please check with your service provider for more information or assistance.
The course will be worth up to 1.60 CEUs (16.0 hours of continuing education). CEUs WILL BE GRANTED ONLY FOR THE TIME LOGGED INTO THE EVENT AND ONLY AFTER THE REGISTRANT HAS PASSED THE ASSESSMENT. WE HAVE BUILT THE CAPACITY TO RECORD THE NUMBER OF HOURS EACH REGISTRANT IS LOGGED INTO THE EVENT.
CEUs will be offered and have been approved by AAA (ABA Tier 1 and Ethics credit hours will be available from this course), ASHA (pending), AAPC and AOA/COPM.
PLEASE NOTE THAT CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDIT WILL ONLY BE PROVIDED TO PAID REGISTRANTS!
*This program has the prior approval of AAPC for 16 continuing education hours. Granting of prior approval in no way constitutes endorsement by AAPC of the program content or the program sponsor.
The course is geared to audiology practices, otolaryngology practices which house an audiology department, hospital audiology departments or hearing aid dispensing practices which employ audiologists. Registration is open to administrators, practice managers, audiologists, coders, office staff, hearing aid dispensers and AuD students.
Additional LIVE Boot Camps will be hosted in Boston, MA (March 8-9, 2018), Minneapolis, MN (May 31-June 1, 2018), and Chicago, IL (September 20-21, 2018). There will also be a four-hour, Managed Care Tutorial in Nashville on the morning of April 18, 2018.
