Members & Publications

August 15, 2016

On Monday, August 15, AAPM&R commented on the American Academy of Neurology’s (AAN) Stroke and Stroke Rehabilitation Quality Measurement Set Update. In 2015, the AAN evaluated the measurement set for potential updates and seated a work group to update the existing measure set. The AAN partnered with the American College of Radiology (ACR) and AAPM&R to chair this project. This work group was charged with developing measures focused on improving outcomes for patients following stroke.

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.
