Welcome to the CCO-L (formerly CRN-L)! This list was starting in 1999 by Laureen Jandroep, OTR, CPC, CPC-H, CPC-EMS because the current medical coding email lists were very strict and did not allow for a more personal touch. We hope you enjoy the list and respect other's opinions. The CCO-L is moderated by Laureen Jandroep, OTR, CPC and Suzan Berman, CPC, CPC-E/M, CPC-ED. Actually we try not to moderate per se but from time to time we have to step in. The main thing we do not tolerate is advertising. If you want to advertise to the list you need to get explicit permission from the list owner. If approved the owner or one of the moderators will send the email to the list. For web based coding, billing and reimbursement discussion vist our forum at http://codingcertification.org/forum If you are interested in becoming a certified coder or about maintaining your credential please visit http://www.codingcertification.org. If you have any questions about this list please email the owner at Laureen@CodingCertification.Org.
