Here's a glimpse on what went down at the first ever AAPC Regional Conference held in the Middle East on 19-Aug-2016 and was hosted at the Hilton Corniche, Abu Dhabi UAE.
And also, it's the day after N's wedding :) congrats and best wished N & D!
During the conference we had options on what breakout sessions to attend - which are all excellent subject matters btw - and I really had a hard time whittling it all down to what I needed the most. Anyway, here's all the sessions, what I attended are highlighted:
- 1A - I 10 PCS Root Operation Evaluation
- 1B - Deep Dive I 10 Coding for General Surgery
- 1C - ICD-10-CM Clinical Concepts (A)
- 2A - Emergency Department Coding
- 2B - General 1 10 Training Organ Specialty Specific (B)
- 2C- Compliance Made Easy A Medical Practice Case Study
- 3A - Deep Dive I 10 Coding for Pediatrics
- 3B-Concurrent Coding for Anesthesia
- 3C-The Difference Between Coding and Auditing
- 4A - I 10 Coding for Orthopedics
- 4B - Deep Dive I 10 Coding for External Cause Codes (EDWorkers' Comp)
- 4C-Coding for Hospitalists Services
- 5A - Deep Dive I 10 Coding for Cardio Conditions
- 5B- The Difference Between Coding and Auditing
- 5C- Advanced E&M

It was such a fun time, and we have a variety of excellent resource speakers whom you could really see the passion shining from their eyes whenever they talk about their field. It was a great learning experience that I'm already looking forward to the next conference and certification!
*cross fingers* HEHEHEHEEEEE
See y'all next year! :)
