The ACOM Chiropractic Consulting Group will deliver a one-day seminar for chiropractors entitled “Case Management that Proves Medical Necessity” in suburban Cleveland, Ohio on October 30, 2008. Senior Consultant Bharon Hoag will lead the seminar, supported by fellow ACOM Consultant Jeff Brown, DC.
 
The seminar has been designed to allow doctors to earn 8 hours of continuing education credits for their participation. It will run 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Embassy Suites Hotel located at 3775 Park East Drive in Beachwood, Ohio. Breakfast and lunch will be provided and the $300.00 charge covers both the seminar and course materials for the first doctor and staff. There is a $35.00 fee for each additional doctor from the same office attending for credits. ACOM is also offering a $50.00 discount if doctors register before October 15, 2008.
