• Coding and documentation

If additional classes are offered or the schedule changes, we’ll publish that information in future issues of The Record.

• Full-day classes start at 9 a.m. and end at 4 p.m., with registration at 8:30 a.m.
• To accommodate driving time to the Upper Peninsula, classes there will begin one hour later than usual. Registration for Houghton, Marquette and Escanaba will be at 9:30 a.m., with class starting at 10.
• A lunch break will be provided between 12 and 1 p.m., with lunch served at all 15 locations.
• Classes might extend later or end earlier depending on participant questions.

To register, send an email to Jeff Holzhausen at jholzhausen@bcbsm.com. In the subject line, write “Professional” and the city where you wish to attend the class. Include the class date and the names and number of attendees expected from your facility.

You will receive a confirmation within 72 hours of registering. It’s important that you register so we can have an accurate headcount for lunch.

The Blues will provide continuing education credits through AAPC.
