Educational Workshops

IRI educational workshops are regularly presented in an easy to understand format. Both half day and full day programs are offered. Each attendee is provided with a comprehensive workshop manual which includes detailed analyses of regulations, billing and reimbursement guidance, and/or supporting tables. Our consultants are seasoned presenters who ensure that the topics discussed are relevant and that all information is accurate and valid at time of presentation. We only use trusted sources such as AHA, AMA and CMS regulations and guidance.

Our workshops allow time for discussion and peer communication, and offer great networking opportunities. Continuing education units (CEUs) are provided when applicable.

For facilities that would like to include a larger number of staff, IRI workshops can also be presented on-site. Please contact us for more information.
