The course will be worth a maximum of 1.60 CEUs (16.0 hours of continuing education). CEUs will be offered and have been approved by the Association of Otolarynology Administrators (AOA), American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) and the American Academy of Audiology (AAA). AAA ABA Tier 1 and Ethics credit (2 hours) will be available from this course. Please note: ASHA does not require that a program need to be approved by ASHA to count towards re-certification. As a result, no ASHA CEUs will be offered. You can learn more at http://www.asha.org/certification/maintFAQs/#do%20I%20have%20to%20earn.
The course is geared to audiology practices, otolaryngology practices which house an audiology department, hospital audiology departments or hearing aid dispensing practices which employ audiologists. Registration is open to practice managers, audiologists, coders, office staff, hearing aid dispensers and AuD students.
Space will be limited to a maximum of 60 attendees. We will not be able to exceed 60 attendees.
All attendees will be supplied a bound booklet (for two-day registrants), which contains a copy of the slides and valuable Medicare and professional resource documents. Section registrants will receive copies of the slides for the sections they plan on attending. Attendees will also be supplied a certificate of attendance, upon request. As a result, no on-site registration or guests will be allowed.
The Boot Camp will address all of the following topics. Dr. Cavitt will be available to answer attendee questions throughout the training event and will address attendee questions following the conclusion of the Boot Camp until March 31, 2019 (for two day registrants) at no additional charge.
