Published on Thu Oct 04, 2007
If you-re a Certified Professional Coder through the American Academy of Professional Coders, you know that each year you have to continue enhancing your coding knowledge by obtaining continuing education units (CEUs). Problem: With the demands of a job in coding, this isn't always an easy task. Seminars, audio conferences and live conferences are great ways to earn CEUs, but attending them isn't always practical due to time and budget constraints. Good news: You can use Orthopedic Coding Alert to earn CEU credits quickly and easily. -Using the Coding Alert articles is a great source for getting CEUs,- says Wendy Willes, head of the Adademy's CEUs/Member Services department. -It encourages coders to read the articles that are so informative to their career and specialty. If they are subscribing to the Coding Alert, not only will they get information pertaining to their career, but they will also be able to obtain CEUs at the same time.- How It Works Look for key words such as -example,- -scenario- and -op report,- says Erin Lang Bonin, PhD, CPC, editorial director of Eli Research. -I look for those sorts of words and often find ready-made scenarios I can use to earn my CEUs,- she adds.
