  • Academy Seeks Candidate for Clinical Practice Guidelines Committee
    • The Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) Committee is charged with evaluating, endorsing, and advocating for key guidelines critical to the field of PM&R. The CPG will also assist in identifying members to serve on national panels to develop guidelines and other practice guidance documents relevant to PM&R.

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.
