There is no typical engagement.  I have had retainers lasting years and have traveled to clients for only one day of training.  I have spent 2-5 days at a client auditing and evaluating a practice and giving the practice feedback for improvement with education and training and I have provided telephone support.  I am currently providing project management for a large Community Health Network for their implementation of ICD-10CM which spans over 1.5 years.  I do webinars, google hangouts, face to face education and training and phone assistance.  I work locally and travel to clients depending on what is the appropriate needs for the project.
