The two-day AAOMS Beyond the Basics coding workshop concentrates on different topics each day. Both days are necessary to achieve the maximum result. AAOMS encourages oral and maxillofacial surgeons to attend with their allied staff team. Participants must have a fundamental understanding of CDT, CPT, ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM. Basic coding knowledge or completion of the AAOMS Basics Coding course is suggested before participating in this intermediate level workshop. The Basics course is available online at aaoms.org/codingbilling. NOTE: The practice exercises in the Beyond the Basics Coding Workshop will contain ICD-10 codes. Therefore, knowledge of ICD-10 or completion of the AAOMS ICD-10 Workshop is required for participation in the Beyond the Basics workshop. Bring your CPT, CDT, ICD-9 and ICD-10 coding books. This is a hands-on workshop and books are not sold on site. Registration for the AAOMS Beyond the Basics Coding Workshop is separate from annual meeting registration. Registration for one does not guarantee registration for the other.
