💼 AANS/CNS Coding and Reimbursement Committee Meeting – CNS 2025 The AANS/CNS Coding and Reimbursement Committee met during the CNS 2025 Annual Meeting to continue its work supporting neurosurgeons in accurate coding, reimbursement, and patient advocacy. This year’s meeting was especially bittersweet as we celebrated the retirement of Cathy Hill, who has devoted more than 24 years of dedicated service helping neurosurgeons advocate for their patients and ensure robust representation within the coding and reimbursement process. #CNS2025 #Neurosurgery #Leadership #Advocacy #Coding #Reimbursement #AANS American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS)
