There are significant changes on the horizon for nuclear medicine. According to some, these may prove to be the most critical coding changes you’ve seen in almost a decade. How will these changes impact your facility and what does your team need to know to move forward with these changes? Learn from one of the nation’s most respected nuclear medicine coding experts, Donna Richmond, who will guide you through these 2020 key changes. Donna will walk through each coding change and will not only give you what the change is but also break down why the change occurred while providing actionable tips on how to apply that change to your workflow.
