Discussion:

1. Payment has been made to the RCCB for penalty incurred for lack of participation at the RCCB coding test sponsored by the IRBMA July 27, 2003. The RBMA has agreed to accept payments for the penalties owed them.
2. Meg Patton with the ISMA is waiting to hear from Walt Blackham to finalize the cost of the coding seminar. The ISMA will make all of the arrangements and do a mailing . The IRBMA membership roster and names of interested persons in Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky will be given to Linda Wilgus to pass along to Meg for the mailing.
3. Mark Reynolds suggested a coding discussion for the physicians attending the RIS meeting. This information will be passed along to the RIS.
