This Workshop will prepare the physician to integrate the need, technical and business requirements to set up a full nerve conduction studies practice in their primary care office.

This is accomplished by incorporating advanced training in the medical, technical and business applications of a full nerve conduction practice. This Workshop is an intensive program that provides comprehensive didactic sessions and hands-on training by experts with over 30 years experience in the field. Ample time will be available for discussions and question and answer sessions.

Training will only be conducted with small groups of physicians to help facilitate the learning process. Space must be reserved in advance for confirmation. During the small group sessions, physicians will learn basic and advanced nerve conduction studies techniques on volunteers; understand their clinical indications.

When you complete our training program you will be prepared to set up a full nerve conduction and EMG practice in your office, and integrate nerve conduction studies as a sub specialty into your practice.

You will receive extensive training in the business principles and insurance guidelines of nerve conductions to help ensure you are consistently and appropriately reimbursed for each high-paying procedure.

You will learn to access your local medical review policy to learn the specific regulations for your own demographic area. In addition to CME Credits, a Certificate Of Achievement is presented upon successful completion and demonstration of the various nerve conduction studies procedures.

During the Hands-On portion of the training, physicians will perform each technique taught in the course using state of the art EMG equipment with guidance and supervision from faculty and staff.

In addition to the added-value a nerve conduction study brings to a primary care practice, there is a significant increase in reimbursement as well. This will be presented during the coding and reimbursement portion of the program.

Although these procedures are generously reimbursed by most insurance companies, it is of the utmost importance that physicians adhere to strict medical necessity in order to prevent incorrect coding and over utilization.

The training begins with didactic material covering the specific principles of nerve conduction studies followed by hands-on training to gain proficiency in the various procedures. You will learn specifically how to perform upper and lower extremity nerve conduction studies in the Median, Ulnar, Radial, Superficial Peroneal, Sural, Peroneal and Posterior Tibial nerves. Special H-Reflex and F-Wave techniques will be taught and demonstrated.

Physicians will learn specific methods to ensure the appropriate reimbursement for these high paying procedures as well as learn the business principles to successfully integrate these new services into their practice. You will learn to access local Medicare policies for your geographic area.

Course material and training manuals, which includes medical, coding, and business materials, are included in the tuition.
