The most recent issue of JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, features an article written by Michelle S. Gittler, MD, FAAPMR and provides an overview of the 2016 Stroke Rehabilitation Guidelines. If you have access to JAMA, we encourage you to review the article.

We encourage you to also check out the following resources, which were created by your Academy and its member volunteers upon the release of the new guidelines:

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.
