📣 IRF physicians: CMS webinar 9/29 at 1 PM ET on new team conference & therapy initiation rules. Attend, ask questions & be heard! Register at cms.zoomgov.com/webinar/regi… #physiatry
The proposed Medicare Physician Fee Schedule would create new barriers to care and threaten the sustainability of physiatry practices.
I submitted my comments. With the 9/14 deadline approaching, I hope other physiatrists will too!

Our specialty faces threats on multiple fronts. I’m grateful for @AAPMR’s work opposing harmful policies affecting inpatient rehab and prior auth for toxin procedures, which add admin burden for physiatrists while creating new barriers to care for our pts.
#Physiatry #PMR
Earlier this week, AAPM&R released urgent actions regarding IRF coverage criteria, prior authorization for spasticity and Medicare enrollment provisions:
-Urgent concerns regarding the initial Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) conference and other new requirements in the 2027 Inpatient PPS Final Rule
-Significant concerns regarding expansion of prior authorization processes related to botulinum toxins and more in the Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System
-Concerns regarding Medicare enrollment and more in the Home Health Prospective Payment System Proposed Rule

CMS wants prior auth for botulinum toxin injections. Will increase admin burden and cause delays in care, which could mean worse function, pain, wounds & contractures. Tell CMS: #StopPriorAuth. Comments due 8/31. #physiatry

Not at all surprising to those working in inpatient rehab. There's a reason they're called "disadvantage" plans. Hopefully increased oversight improves access to needed rehabilitation services.

Time’s running out to complete this very important survey! We need as many physiatrists as possible to submit their data to get essential info to help physiatrists negotiate for fair compensation. #physiatry
AAPM&R is conducting a Physician Compensation & Practice Benchmarking Survey to provide key insights on compensation, practice characteristics and work standards in order to help physiatrists negotiate contracts, evaluate opportunities and understand expectations.
