What attendees had to say about ZHealth Publishing’s Cardiovascular & Interventional
Radiology Coding Seminar at FireSky Resort & Spa — February 2007:
“By far best conference on interventional radiology coding. Pleasant atmosphere.”
Kerri Sullivan-Monger
Mayo Clinic Scottsdale, AZ
“Knowledge base was excellent. The doctors took the time to explain procedures to the highest level of accuracy that helped to understand when to bill for procedures and when not to bill. I would recommend this course to everyone.” They were very knowledgeable about the information and very truthful when things were a gray area. This is a course that I would take again to help further my knowledge.”
Dawn Nava, Coding Specialist Lead
Carle Clinic Association Urbana, IL
“Packed with information. Wish I had brought a doc or 2 to listen & learn with me.”
Mary Piano, CPC, Office Coordinator

What
attendees had to say about ZHealth Publishing’s Interventional & Cardiology

Renea Zielinski
Northwestern Medical Faculty
Chicago, IL
“I thought both physicians did a great job of relating difficult & complex information in a straightforward & efficient manner. Additionally sense of humor; a welcome relief as one attempt to digest, assimilate, & understand such voluminous & complex material without imploding. Dr. Dunn’s class was very beneficial. Overall I am very pleased with my choice to attend this conference & I believe that Dr. Z’s knowledge & experience, and his ability to convey that was a worthwhile investment in my career as a coder. The 2007 IR coding book by Dr. Z is excellent – lots of helpful hints & tips. The power point presentation is very efficient & relevant a rarity in comparison to some seminars where that is all you receive as a handout. We need real-life examples to relate those informational slices to and both Dr. Dunn & Dr. Z provided that. Very useful again real life scenarios are required when trying to understand this complex specialty.”
