Members & Publications

February 26, 2016

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has published frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the public health reporting objective for the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs. These include three new FAQs about when providers can register their intent to report to a registry, what a provider should do in 2016 if they did not previously intend to report to a public health reporting measure, and the alternate exclusions available for public health reporting in 2016.

Review the FAQs to learn more.

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.
