ACP Member Participation Needed for Upcoming RUC Survey
In 2019, ACP members were instrumental in advocating for code selection and valuation changes for the outpatient evaluation and management (E/M) codes through the RUC process. Thanks to ACP members, outpatient E/M codes are now more reflective of the resources needed to effectively care for patients. In light of possible revisions to inpatient/observation E/M services, a nationwide program to vaccinate against COVID-19, and changes to other services provided by internists, your help is needed once again. You may be selected to participate in a survey in the coming days. If you are selected, your participation is crucial to ensuring that valuations for these services accurately reflect the work that you do.
