Answer: Many pediatric-specific conferences do exist. The Coding Institute recently held a pediatric coding conference in Naples, Fla.
The event featured Pediatric Coding Alert's consulting editors Victoria S. Jackson, practice management consultant with JCM Inc. in California; and Richard H. Tuck, MD, FAAP, a nationally recognized pediatric coding speaker with PrimeCare of Southeastern Ohio; and several of the publication's editorial advisory board members including Joel Bradley Jr., MD, FAAP, pediatrician at Premier Medical Group in Clarksville, Tenn.; and Jeffrey F. Linzer Sr., MD, FAAP, FACEP, associate medical director for Compliance and Business Affairs at EPG--Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston.
The editor had the pleasure of hearing these experts first-hand and will include their advice in upcoming articles. If you weren't able to attend the three-day conference, plan now to come to next year's or order a CD copy of the seminars. For more information, visit .
