SAN ANTONIO -- July 15, 2010 -- The Practice Management Institute (PMI) sixth annual Las Vegas Conference for Medical Office Professionals in Las Vegas October 20-21 will feature coding expert, Nancy Maguire, to deliver the keynote presentation on ICD-10 coding preparation.

Nationally-renowned for her coding expertise and engaging stage presence, Maguire's session will inspire the audience of medical office staff to think differently about coding and change in their profession. Participants will get to experience her incredible stage-presence and knowledge. After her keynote, she will lead a breakout session to continue her ICD-10 guidance in further depth.

"Nancy Maguire walks the walk, talks the talk, and lives a life of integrity," said Angela F. Perry, M.D. "She is a most valuable resource in the current sea of change."

Maguire has spent over twenty years as a teacher, coding bootcamp trainer and workshop leader. She is an amazing presenter guaranteed to make a lasting impact on your career and your life. She has authored countless coding articles and presentations. In her expansive career, she has transitioned from nursing, to coding, to practice management, auditing and consulting. Nancy served as Director of Coding and Reimbursement at UTMB in Galveston Texas for four years. She served the first two terms as president of AAPC in the early 90's. Her expert guidance helps coders to make the best decisions in their everyday jobs.
