icd-10 Education For physician practices

The Complete Practice Resources team is committed to helping physician practices successfully implementing ICD-10. We recognize that transitioning can feel like a complicated, moving target when you're not starting from the beginning – a solid foundation of knowledge. That's why we believe in a phased approach to ICD-10 that starts with getting the facts.

Our workshops are approved by AHIMA and AAPC for CEUs and are easily formatted for Category 1 CME for physicians. They range in duration from 1 hour to 4 hours and can also be accommodated in a "webinar" format.

Our speakers are long-time physician advocates, nationally known health care educators and consultants, former practice administrators and CEOs, authors of award winning practice management manuals and training systems, and many are certified through AAPC or AHIMA.

Comments from our attendees range from "Enlightening and motivating" to "Absolutely on point for what we need to know." We are known for our dynamic and engaging presentation styles and firmly believe that workshops don't need to be lectures, but rather interactive and interesting learning experiences. Following are titles and workshops we have prepared for state and national organizations across the country (Please note: we can custom-design content specific to your needs):
