(January 26, 2011): Robert W. Liles, J.D. Managing Partner at Liles Parker, has been asked by Practice Management Institute (PMI) to develop and present its new "Certified Medical Compliance Officer" (CMCO) program. This Compliance Officer Certification course will be held over a five day period -- February 3-4 and March 2-4, 2011.
I. What is the Focus of PMI's "Certified Medical Compliance Officer" Program?
This Certification course is uniquely designed to address the needs of non-hospital health care providers. It is specifically for current and soon-to-be Compliance Officers working in Physician Practices, Home Health Agencies, Hospice Companies, Durable Medical Equipment Companies, Physical Therapy Clinics, Third-Party Billing Companies and other small to mid-sized health care provider entities. Unlike other Certification courses, this program has been developed to meet your organization's compliance needs, not those of a hospital or large provider institution. The Compliance Officer Certification course and exam will take place in Dallas at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.
