If coding has taught us anything, it’s that every chart is a surprise waiting to happen.
“Coding is like a box of chocolates… you never know what you’re gonna get.”

Whether it's unexpected documentation, wild modifiers, or a note you swear was written in hieroglyphics, coders handle it all with skill, patience, and a sense of humor.

And next week in Savannah, we’ll be diving into all those “surprise chocolates” together at the 17th Annual NAMAS Auditing & Compliance Conference.

Who’s ready to unwrap some coding wisdom?
