Do y’all recommend any resources (websites, podcasts, blogs, YouTube videos, PDFs) where I can learn more about how to bill?
It could even be conferences (ie ASIPP, AAPM).
Ideally I’d like to learn the following:
I’m sure it changes frequently but I don’t need 100% up to date information.
Why do I want this?
Thank you for your time and thoughts.
PS - I know I’ll be a fellow in order to ‘learn pain medicine’ and ‘shouldn’t worry about billing’. And it takes ‘much more than a year to become good at just learning the fundamentals of pain’. Please don’t knock someone looking to learn another aspect of this field. And yes, I’m one of those people who have the bandwidth to manage multiple tasks. Not saying I’m better - just saying I’m wired that way.
PPS - No I’m not one of those sleazy pill pushers or needle monkeys. I just want to understand the basic financials behind this just like any other business endeavor. I plan on working hard and doing things ethically. And I want to make sure I’m not overlooking anything.
Just looking for recs 🙂

Ideally I’d like to learn the following:
- What exactly do I have to include in a clinic note or post op note in order to capture all legal billing?
- How can I pass audits and minimize risks in billing according to guidelines?

- So when I start a pain fellowship I’ll build good habits when I write the post-op note, clinic note, etc and also not do anything inadvertently wrong/illegal.
- I can create macros/templates so I can spend less time typing and more time seeing patients and learning.
