JR ASSOCIATES RETIRES CODING REFERENCE GUIDES,
EXPANDS ON-DEMAND POLICY SERVICES

Los Angeles – January 8, 2008 – In response to market demand for easy access to the most timely, specific medical coding guidance available, JR Associates is restructuring its code-related offerings. Specifically, the reimbursement consulting firm will no longer publish, market and distribute its annual Coding Reference Guides, effective with the 2008 edition.

However, JR Associates’ coding expertise will continue to be available through a customized service called CODeConnect. For only $30 per policy, the firm’s specialists will research and deliver the most up-to-date local coding information for any medical specialty. Learn more about CODeConnect Services.

“Through the years, our Coding Reference Guides gained recognition as a definitive resource, because they’re the only publications that link CPT procedure codes to ICD-9 diagnosis codes,” explained JR Associates President, Judy Rosenbloom.

“However, in today’s reimbursement environment, the rules are continually changing. So, by shifting our delivery method from comprehensive annual publications to custom on-demand service, we can deliver precisely the information our clients need, precisely when they need it.”
