My First AAPC Healthcon
It was my first Healthcon from AAPC and I was invited as a speaker this year. It was a tough year in 2020 but in 2021 we were able to safely come together and experience the best that AAPC has to offer. Their education platform is top notch! We learned so many new things.
Top Events were:
E/M 2021 Guidelines
Telemedicine
Risk Adjustment
There were many who had to adapt to last minute changes due to speaker unavailability and we are so in awe of their sacrifice and being there to help things come together. Thank you AAPC for this opportunity and the privilege of representing you at HealthCon 2021! Can’t wait for 2022!
