Practice What You Know: Validating Your Reimbursement Competency

You’ve completed the ONS reimbursement course, right? Now, confirm your competency in complicated oncology billing calculations and case scenarios by taking the test Practice What You Know: Validating Your Reimbursement Competency (www.ons.org/CourseDetail.aspx?course_id=30). This detailed test will confirm your reimbursement coding skills, offer additional practice, and help you gain confidence in this important skill. The Web-based competency test covers all of the critical skills required in oncology practice to help you demonstrate your proficiency in reimbursement and coding. It also offers more patient billing scenarios and calculations to further enhance your skills! At the completion of the test, you will be able to • Accurately identify chemotherapy versus therapeutic drugs • Accurately calculate billing units typically utilized in oncology practice • Accurately identify drug and administration codes. The Practice What You Know test is appropriate for anyone who has completed the Reimbursement for Nurses and Managers: The Keys to Successful Practice course (www.ons.org/CourseDetail.aspx?course_id=29), as well as for anyone who has experience with coding and would benefit from more practice or the desire to demonstrate competency in this skill. The competency test is modestly priced at $14.99 for ONS members. Or, check out the bundle (www.ons.org/CourseDetail.aspx?course_id=42) that includes both the course and the test for only $40. At these prices, you can’t afford not to participate. Just think, if you avoid just one billing error, that would more than pay the cost! Practice What You Know!
