Here's what you need to do in order to earn your BMSC CEUs:

• Review an article you've read in a BMSC-approved publication, and in writing, state what you've learned and how it will change the way you code and bill claims for your practice. Provide CPT, HCPCS and ICD-9 codes as appropriate. Include the name of publication, article title, and date of publication on your submission.
• Review a scenario (for example, found in one of the Part B News) and describe, in writing, what you've learned from the coding scenario and how you can apply what you've learned to your practice. Provide codes as appropriate. Include the name of the publication, date of publication, page numbers of scenarios you are referencing on your submission.

BMSC awards 1 CEU per review or scenario.
