Trust the analysis and insights of two prominent experts
In 2011, a major overhaul of vascular interventional radiology codes generated many questions and much confusion among providers. Now in 2012, we are seeing a continuation of last years payer/regulatory initiatives, including the bundling of more codes and, of course, the overall downward pressure on payments. Today, more than ever, capturing every legitimate dollar of reimbursement is so crucialwhich is why you need to join the conversation with Jeff Majchrzak, BA, RT(R), CNMT, RCC, CIRCC, and Zeke Silva, MD back by popular demand in this two-part webcast seminar series.
