NEW THIS YEAR – The Codequest syllabus will be available to attendees online the week of the course. Please download the syllabus onto your own laptop or devise and/or print out pages. We will have pens and notepads on site and a very limited number of printed copies. Thank you for making this adjustment, which will help us keep costs low. 

Codequest™ provides expert coding instruction for practices of every size and specialty.
Physicians, administrators, technicians, and scribes all play a crucial role in patient care and your practice's financial health. Join the most knowledgeable coding experts in ophthalmology for four hours of professional coding education essential to your success. We’ll map out the latest critical updates, review key competencies, crosswalk to all subspecialties, and steer you towards successful solutions for appropriately maximizing reimbursements.
