Welcome to WebMedEd.com! Under the section The Business of PET and PET/CT you will find a selection of educational programs focused on coverage, coding, billing, and contracting and payment issues. The educational experience of each topic is designed to support your PET and PET/CT practices including specific needs under Oncology, Neurology and Cardiology.

I have found that the ever changing business of PET and PET/CT including; billing, coding, and contracting procedures can be difficult at best, to understand and implement. As the WebMedEd Course Instructor for The Business of PET and PET/CT, I am committed to providing updated and relevant information, and any supporting forms that will assist you in implementing a successful PET and PET/CT practice. At the conclusion of each educational session, you will have an opportunity to submit three questions related to the topic you have just reviewed. A response to your questions will further assist you in managing any difficult business situations regarding the PET business.

In conclusion, it is my goal that the content hosted on WebMedEd.com, provide you and your colleagues with up-to-date information and the answers to business related issues. The content is designed to meet the needs of the radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, administrative staff, technologists, business office personnel, billing organizations and health plan personnel.

On behalf of WebMedEd, I look forward to your participation and hope you enjoy your learning experience.

Sincerely,

Sue B. Halliday
