PPE plays a vital role in helping you safely care for your patients during these critical times. AAPM&R members brought to our attention a few suppliers to help get PPE delivered to you quickly.

As a benefit of Academy membership, you can order supplies from a couple of collaborators who will handle the payment and shipping of your order(s)*:

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.
