Understanding Comparative Billing Reports (CBRs) for Improved Coding Compliance and Medicare Data Analysis

This webinar will help certified professional coders and auditors understand how to read CBRs. These letters are filled with unique data for a specific provider or practice’s billing patterns. These patterns are then juxtaposed with same-specialty billing patterns across a state and/or national data. This comparison in the CBR is intended to serve as a tool for the specific provider to improve coding compliance.

Who would benefit from this topic?
Certified medical coders, certified medical auditors, compliance professionals, physicians, medical professionals; anyone with a stake on the business side of medicine.
