The coding procedure for urodynamics is complicated as it requires professional as well as technical component. Recently, there have been changes in the coding for urodynamic services which physicians, coders, and billers need to be well versed with, for the procedures of full reimbursements and for avoiding claim denials.

This live conference will guide you with the help of step by step educational presentations and urodynamic scenarios for the updated and correct coding for urodynamic testing.
