This month,
AAPM&R will be conducting a random sample survey of Academy membership for
the purposes of developing recommendations to the American Medical Association
Relative Value Scale Update Committee (AMA RUC). This survey is being
conducted in collaboration with the American Academy of Neurology, the American
Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine, the American
College of Radiology, the American College of Rheumatology and the American
Podiatric Medical Association. If you
are a member of one of these partnering organizations, you may receive a survey
link directly from them.
The survey is being
conducted on three ultrasound codes including a new code for neuromuscular
ultrasound, scheduled to take effect in January 2023.
These surveys will be
sent to a random sample of Academy members. Those who receive one of the
surveys are encouraged to complete it. If you are inappropriately contacted
regarding these surveys, please notify AAPM&R immediately.
If you have questions,
please contact Carolyn Millett, Senior Manager of Reimbursement and Regulatory
Affairs via email at cmillett@aapmr.org immediately.
