  • Include faculty from both genders
  • A mix of experienced and junior faculty, and Advanced Practice Providers
  • Topics: Population Health, Inpatient and Outpatient Settings, and Point/Counterpoint sessions on Medical Marijuana, Chronic Opioid Management: Stop or Not to Stop, and IRF vs. SNF Care After Disability

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.
