This month the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched new Frequently Asked Questions related to the use of add-on code G2211. CMS implemented payment for G2211, a code to capture additional work for patients with serious and/or complex conditions, on January 1, 2024.  The detailed FAQs add to the understanding of appropriate scenarios for billing these services and clarify potential points of confusion.  For additional information about appropriate uses for G2211 in PM&R, visit the Academy website.    


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.
