There are 5 coders here and everyone comes up with different codes and rules for coding scene vs facility transports. I know there are some ambulance coders and billers on the forum. Would you please give us some direction. I have been looking for classes or a seminar where I can educate myself for this type of coding any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am located in San Diego, CA Thanks for your time!!!

It seemed rather complete. Here's the link: www.the-caa.org/index.htm I did see that they hold a reimbursement conference this fall. I would think about going. Aside from the workshops, there usually lots of knowledgeable people to speak to. The ambulance crews also may need education on documentation. Russ
