So very much was covered and definitely helped me to decide which way to turn in my abstract thinking. I also, unexpectedly, learned about the billing of Medicare, in particular. I am pleasantly surprised by all the important information that came out of this highly interesting 3-hr session. My intentions are to listen again and take good notes.
