ICD-10-CM Workshops

COMING SOON: Information about workshops occurring in 2013

Now is the time to increase your awareness of one of the biggest changes to hit health care—the transition from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM. And the American Medical Association (AMA) is ready to help you learn, implement, and code with a one-day ICD-10-CM workshop.

In the 2011 workshops, expert instructors
Susan Garrison and Robin Linker focused on preparing for the switch from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM. Now in 2012, the focus has shifted, and Garrison and Linker concentrate on explaining the details and how-to of ICD-10-CM coding. As an attendee at these one-day workshops you will:

Develop and practice your coding skills on several case studies while in the presence of our experts
Receive an extensive review of the guidelines and regulations
Thoroughly examine documentation requirements and how they affect the way you perform the coding role
Ask questions of our experts throughout the eight-hour workshop

Please note that topics, speakers, times, and presentation handouts are subject to change without prior notification.
