February 25, 2020

Check out the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' Medicare Learning Network's Matters Article on the Role of Therapy Under the Home Health Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM). While this information primarily affects Home Health Agencies and therapists, this information may be a helpful reference for physicians who establish Medicare Home health plans of care.

Please also reference AAPM&R’s Post-Acute Care (PAC) Toolkit for a primer on the regulations in different PAC settings.

 

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.
