Summer training scheduled across state

We’ve scheduled the following professional training opportunities this summer, with classes held at 11 locations around the state. (See schedule at the end of article.)

The classes will cover topics such as:

• Coding and documentation
• Risk adjustment
• Diagnostic closure incentive program
• Performance recognition program
• Health e-blue^SM
• ICD-10

There will also be a late afternoon Q&A.

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

Here’s additional information:

• Full-day classes start at 9 a.m. and end at 4 p.m., with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m.
• To accommodate driving schedules to the Upper Peninsula, classes will begin one hour later than usual. Registration for the Marquette classes will begin at 9:30 a.m., with class starting at 10 a.m. Please note that this is for the U.P. classes only.
• A lunch break will be provided between noon and 1 p.m., with lunch served at all 11 locations.
• Classes might extend later or end earlier, depending on the number of participant questions.

To register, send an email to Jeff Holzhausen at JHolzhausen@bcbsm.com. In the subject line, write "RMRA/Stars" 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. For more information, please contact your provider consultant.
