Register for an ACS/Karen Zupko & Associates (KZA) Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding course February 2–3, 2023 in Las Vegas, NV or March 16–17, 2023 in Orlando, FL. With Medicare and third-party payor policy and coding changes taking effect in 2023—some with significant potential reductions in payment for surgeons—it is imperative that surgeons and their coding staff have accurate and up-to-date information to protect reimbursements while optimizing efficiency.
