The goal of this course is to equip general internists and hospitalists with the knowledge and confidence to efficiently navigate complex billing rules. Billing, coding, and documentation are essential for physicians, ensuring appropriate reimbursement and compliance. However, many residents and early-career physicians report inadequate training in these areas, leading to inaccurate billing, lost revenue, and inefficiencies in practice. This course addresses this gap by providing structured, case-based education on outpatient and inpatient billing. The course is designed for early-career physicians, residents, and advanced practice providers, but it also offers valuable insights for experienced clinicians looking to refine their billing practices.
