"Weekly webinars enable practice staff to dial in and ask specific questions and get direct answers. It continually builds the knowledge base of every member of the practice."

Total Access webinars addresses current coding, billing and practice operational skills. A speakerphone makes it possible for several people from the office to participate simultaneously. Physicians are encouraged to participate and communicate with the presenter.

Events are archived and made available in a streaming format over the Internet for all Total Access members. The Total Access Audio Library consists of more than 75 hours of pre-recorded training sessions. Currently 50 topics are available. Each session is about an hour long. Titles include Observation: To Bill or Not to Bill, What They Didn't Teach You in Coding Class, Understanding Modifiers, Coding/Medicare Update, EMR Reimbursement and Financing. A full list of topics can be found on PMI's Web site: www.pmiMD.com/audio/totalaccess.asp.

Upcoming Webinar topics scheduled this month: Medical Records Deficiencies Affecting Your Reimbursement, June 3; ICD-9 Code Changes for 2011, June 10; Medical Records Management, June 16; Prepare Your Coding for the Future: Anatomy and Medical Terminology, June 23.
