Womack, Jan Hailey, MHL, CMOM, CMC, CMIS, CMCA E/M & Kem Tolliver, CMOM, FACMPE, CPC David: My name is David Womack, and I am the President and CEO of Practice Management Institute. And today I am joined by Kem Tolliver and Jan Hailey. Kem and Jan are both trainers with PMI, both teach the CMOM curriculum. Today we are going to dive into not-really the CMOM class as much as Kem and Jan's CMOM journey, and how it all began with CMOM. Welcome Kem, welcome Jan. Kem and Jan: Thanks for having us, David. David: So initially for those who are not aware, I want to kind of share the CMOM story - how CMOM came about. This year, 2024, we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of CMOM. So, (yeah, exactly), so we're trying to give CMOM its props, tell the story, and to interact with a lot of people that have become CMOM graduates, and low and behold, here's two of our own. So in the early 90's - late 80's early '90s, PMI had our curriculum "How to be the Best receptionist", "how to be the best collector", "office management basics" class, and ICD-9 classes in-the-day, and a variety of things. And a certain segment of our audience reached out and asked, "What's next?" Being in the proverbial "ivory tower," we sat and looked at each other and thought, we really don't have anything for that. So we thought about it, went to the drawing board and created the CMOM curriculum to be kind of an overarching, almost like the last class you take as a college senior it's not gateway,... Is it a capstone? Capstone, that's exactly it, kind of ties all the pieces together, and that's what CMOM was for. We joked internally that CMOM course was going to be for "the person that missed the meeting" that showed up at work one day and said, guess who's the new office manager. That's who this class was designed for. Anyway, Jan and Kem, like I said, we had some fun putting this together - certainly a lot of memories. Certainly without dating anybody here, you all received your CMOM certification many moons ago.

This partnership supports the strong commitment of NMMS and GAMA to enhance the knowledge base of medical practice staff through education. The goal of the collaboration is to advance the educational opportunities of affiliated practice staff by providing easily accessible resources from the industry experts. So often, providers and practice leadership are hard-pressed to find quality, localized, in-person or web-based educational opportunities for their team. As in many industries, the rules and regulations safeguarding the business of medicine are numerous and oft changing, especially those relating to and directly affecting reimbursement. In this venture, New Mexico practices will now be able to choose from a well-rounded selection of courses that will go far to elevate staff and solidify the bottom-line success of the medical practice. Bi-monthly programming will begin in May, and 2024 topics will cover all facets of practice operations such as front desk excellence, patient experience, coding, billing, reimbursement, and compliance sessions, as well as the nationally recognized Certified Medical Office Manager (CMOM®) legacy certification and other certification programs offered by PMI.   [Read More](https://info.pmimd.com/blog/pmi-partnerships-new-mexico) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.pmimd.com/blog/pmi-partnerships-new-mexico#comments-listing) Topics: [Insider](https://info.pmimd.com/blog/tag/insider), [partnerships](https://info.pmimd.com/blog/tag/partnerships) ## [Practice Management Institute Partners with Escambia County Medical Society](https://info.pmimd.com/blog/pmi-partnerships-escambia-county-medical-society) Posted by [Practice Management Institute](https://info.pmimd.com/blog/author/practice-management-institute) on Mar 12, 2024, 1:52:23 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.pmimd.com/hubfs/Client%20Logos%20-%20TJC%20%26%20Hendrick.png)](https://info.pmimd.com/blog/pmi-partnerships-escambia-county-medical-society) Practice Management Institute® Partners with Escambia County Medical Society- Pensacola, FL In Exciting New Training Initiative for Affiliated Medical Practice Staff Practice Management Institute is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the Escambia County Medical Society (ECMS) in a joint effort to provide affordable medical practice specific training and certification opportunities to its membership.

Womack and PMI PMI’s Medical Coding Bundle Instructor and Lead Creator Jan Hailey, MHL, CMC, CMCO, CMIS, CMOM, CMCA E/M** **David:** Jan, first of all, thank you for doing this and second talk to us about the medical coding bundle and why it exists.   **Jan:** Thank you for having me David! I have taught Practice Management Institute’s Certified Medical Coder course for many years. Recently, we have seen more people enrolling in this course that have a desire to learn and get certified, but they do not have the years of experience it takes to be successful. This is why I am especially excited about the new Medical Coding Bundle! Enrolled students have access to a progressive series of basic to intermediate-level courses. Once they are done with that training, they are ready to enroll in the top-level training: the Certified Medical Coder course.  This series is an excellent choice because it is an inclusive program for beginners who may not have any coding experience. It was designed to meet today’s needs and bring them up to the level that it takes to be successful in the certification course and gives them a better foundation to pass the exam.  Each of these classes is comprehensive; there are five different classes, plus a self-paced medical terminology course that the student can take. This series begins with the basics: introduction to medical coding, and then ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS coding. Then the CMC course itself. It is a progressive series that will prepare the student to pass the CMC exam.  [Read More](https://info.pmimd.com/blog/what-is-our-medical-coding-bundle) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.pmimd.com/blog/what-is-our-medical-coding-bundle#comments-listing) Topics: [Insider](https://info.pmimd.com/blog/tag/insider), [medical coding](https://info.pmimd.com/blog/tag/medical-coding) [Previous](https://info.pmimd.com/blog/tag/insider/page/1) [All posts](https://info.pmimd.com/blog/all) ### Subscribe Here! ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Tag -
