The concept for this event began in 2004 when the Governor of New Jersey signed a proclamation declaring October 30th Medical Coders Day, honoring the many skilled professionals in the Medical Coding and Billing industry. The AAPC Monmouth-Ocean NJ Chapter meets monthly at Jersey Shore University Hospital for educational programs and updates on current healthcare issues.
