Fee-for-service billing seminar
To fill an information gap, Doctors Nova Scotia organized several billing seminars for fee-for-service and alternate payment plan physicians. These sessions were recorded and are now available to watch online, on-demand. Find the recording links below. You may also download the PowerPoint presentation for the session.
