As 2016 comes to a close, it’s time to take care of some important year-end tasks. Continuing medical education (CME) credits for completed activities and live events will not be awarded until you have claimed the CME. Sign in to mē® (me.aapmr.org) to:

  • Document CME credits for 2016. If you need documentation of CME credit earned in 2016 for licensure, credentialing, or Maintenance of Certification® (MOC®), your CME credit claim must be processed by December 31, 2016. If you wait until 2017 to claim, your CME credits will be applied to 2017 without exception.
  • Claim CME for live events. Claim CME for any live event you attended in the last year. Don’t forget to claim credit for the Annual Assembly if you did not get a chance to do so while on-site in New Orleans.

Legislation Introduced to Alleviate Impact of Conversion Factor Cut for 2021

Nov 09, 2020

Last month, two bills were introduced in the House proposing solutions to the estimated 10.6% Physician Fee Schedule conversion factor cut expected to go into effect January 1, 2021.  The bills offer some relief to the cut, but do not reflect a comprehensive or long-term solution.  AAPM&R has therefore chosen to remain neutral regarding these bills. 

Your Academy continues to advocate for a permanent solution to the conversion factor cut while maintaining the important payment increases to office and outpatient evaluation and management services.
