You need a knowledgeable professional on staff.
Compliance expertise is among the most valuable and versatile attributes on the business side of health care. PMI’s CMCO program provides candidates with tools and tactical skills needed to safeguard the office. Equally important, if you are audited, the training provides proof that your organization has taken steps to comply with applicable billing and coding rules.
The First Curriculum Created Specifically for Non-Hospital Health Care Professionals
CMCO is the first curriculum created specifically for compliance professionals in small physician practices, home health agencies, hospices, and DME companies. It is also well suited for those working in community mental health clinics, third-party billing companies, and other non-hospital health care environments. This credential provides a means to authenticate your compliance expertise.
CMCO Offers a Complete Curriculum in Medical Office Compliance Management
The CMCO preparatory program provides candidates with knowledge that very few practice management professionals have attained. The material is presented in a way that is relevant and meaningful. The result will be an enhanced ability to understand how to develop, implement, and manage a complete Compliance Program. These skills will serve you well for years to come and provide a launching pad for professional growth.
