Paul also oversees the reimbursement and internal coding audit functions for compliance with CMS and AMA guidelines. The result of which is the development of new training programs for mdStrategies coders and coding clients. Paul will guide you through the coding updates and pitfalls of the ASC world with his immense wealth of knowledge.
Brenda Cadorette, CPC-H-ORTHO, Director of Coding for mdStrategies. Brenda supervises a team of coders ensuring that they meet mdStrategies' high standards.
