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.

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

We applaud the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health for advancing the Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act. This bipartisan bill cuts red tape in Medicare Advantage so patients get life-saving care without delay. Thank you @MikeKellyPA, @RepDelBene and committee leaders for putting patients first. We look forward to working together to see it enacted.
