If you've ever wondered about the finer details of Medicare billing, auditing or compliance, this webinar is your chance to learn more.

With the introduction of a new explanatory note for sleep study item numbers last year, ASA offers an opportunity to members to ask questions. 

To ask a specific question to be covered during the webinar, post it in the Questions section when you register for the webinar. Participants are encouraged to submit questions during the registration process. Time permitting, there may be further opportunity for questions subsequent to the presentation, but asking your question in advance will help the presenters ensure they cover everyone's concerns.
