Everyday Coding for Medical Practices

How can a practice increase its revenue? The easiest way is by collecting for services already performed, and the first step in that process is accurate CPT^® coding.

Everyday Coding is Betsy’s signature course. We’ve gathered all the components here in one convenient spot. You can work through them one at a time, select just the ones you need, or customize training for your physicians and staff.
