AAPC 2008 National Medical Coding Conference in Orlando

The American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) had announced that the Sixteenth National Conference will be held in Orlando, FL from June 8th – 11th, 2008. (Please note that another additional annual conference is to be held in Disneyland Hotel January 9 - 12, 2008 and so this would probably be the sixteenth conference and not the Orlando one and registrations have already closed.).

The Orlando conference is said to be a combination of outstanding speakers presenting the most up-to-date coding information and will also be a fun relaxing vacation atmosphere for the whole family. Speakers will include coders, physicians, attorneys, payers, billers, and others.
