Designed for private practice OMSs, this session will focus on three facets of practice management: vision, patient journey analysis and daily management. Vision covers developing a clear vision, strategic planning for growth, financial planning and scaling strategies. Patient journey analysis involves mapping the patient journey, identifying critical steps and bottlenecks, leveraging technology and enhancing patient experience at each touchpoint. Daily management addresses implementing a culture of continuous improvement, effective team communication strategies, performance monitoring, staff training and problem-solving techniques.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming oral and maxillofacial surgery. They will soon dominate many aspects of practice, including marketing, patient management, scheduling, patient education, informed consent, diagnosis, imaging analysis, surgical planning and some level of surgical performance. Healthcare practitioners and practice managers and owners must understand both the benefits and the legal liabilities associated with AI and ML. This session will analyze AI in oral surgery, covering its benefits, mandates and legal risks. It also will offer tips on avoiding liability and preparing for market-driven transitions.

This session will show OMS professionals at an individual, team and organization level how to implant positive practices in their personal habits, teamwork routines and the practice culture. Whether it’s at the office or at home, all can benefit from understanding how to build happier, heathier and higher performing relationships. When the practice team becomes more aligned, cohesive and focused, the patients have a more enriching experience, and the team can lessen burnout and stress. Code: ODAM25PM01

Navigating the complexities of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) modifier use is a vital aspect of coding OMS procedures. Code with confidence by registering for an in-depth webinar designed for OMSs and coding professionals. Whether new to modifier coding or looking to enhance skills, participants will learn practical insights and best practices in this 90-minute webinar that helps demystify the purpose and application of modifiers – those two-character alpha-numeric codes that play a critical role in medical billing by influencing pricing, claims processing and anatomical specificity. Explore commonly misunderstood modifiers such as 59 (distinct procedural services), 57 (decision for surgery) and 53 (discontinued procedure) along with best practices for applying the KX and GY modifiers when billing Medicare services. Through real-world examples from oral and maxillofacial surgery, attendees will learn how to apply these modifiers accurately to ensure compliance, avoid misuse and optimize reimbursement.

Even in practices with strong safety records, rare adverse events can occur- and when they do, stress can quickly undermine performance. In this 165-minute expert roundtable, three OMSs will share proven strategies to help practices strengthen crisis readiness through improved coordination, clearer decision-making and more effective real-time communication. Attendees will learn to anticipate common team challenges during high-pressure events, apply practical techniques to "manage the moment" and conduct mock drills that build confidence and consistency. The roundtable also will provide step-by-step guidance to organize, run and evaluate effective drills so teams can identify gaps and respond more effectively when an emergency arises.

Both OMSs and coding professionals can benefit from a comprehensive understanding of 2026 coding changes that affect their everyday practices. This 90-minute webinar will present attendees with detailed coding guidance by reviewing relevant coding scenarios based on specific inquiries received by AAOMS. Participants will be guided through the different types of anesthesia, learn about CDT and CPT start and stop times, and explore common questions and answers on reporting services for separate anesthesia providers. The webinar also will address the differences between moderate sedation and general anesthesia, review current payer policies with examples of payer requirements, and provide tips to help navigate and understand credentialing.

This course provides education on Medicare programs and policies that impact oral and maxillofacial surgeons and their staff. This self-paced program includes discussions about Medicare components (Parts A, B, C and D), Medicare fraud and abuse, payment policies including Medicare dental coverage expansion, appeal processes and miscellaneous Medicare-related topics. There is a saying in healthcare – “as Medicare goes, so do the other carriers.” By investing time in thoroughly understanding the Medicare program, participants also will gain valuable insights into commercial payers.

The AAOMS Coding Certificate Program (CCP) consists of three courses: Basic Coding for OMS, Beyond the Basics Coding for OMS and OMS Billing. The CCP Bundle allows participants to register for all three online courses in a single transaction.

The online OMS Billing is Level III of the Coding Certificate Program (CCP). It focuses on documentation guidelines, predetermination tips, claims filing, appeal tips as well as fraud and abuse. Accurate coding and billing services must be a priority for all OMSs and their staff due to increased fraud and abuse investigations stemming from strict billing guidelines and inaccurate coding.
