A 2.5% “efficiency adjustment” wRVU cut is now in effect. If your institution hasn’t acknowledged it or discussed its impact, that’s a problem. With Don Selzer, we outline what this means for productivity benchmarks (@JAMASurgery): jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

The ACS is speaking out against Medicare payment changes that could limit access to lifesaving specialty care. We need your voice! Urge Congress to support legislation that protects surgical care. We've made it easy to send a prewritten, customizable message with SurgeonsVoice: facs.quorum.us/campaign/1536…
Surgeons warn Medicare payment reforms overlook realities of specialty care. Shifting dollars to primary care doesn’t guarantee better outcomes—but it may risk access to lifesaving surgical care. We shouldn’t trade proven treatment for unproven theory. brnw.ch/21x2kSd

Not all procedures match a CPT code. “Unlisted” codes often reward 0 wRVUs, meaning surgeons may not receive proper credit. Check out this ACS Bulletin Viewpoint to learn practical, compliant methods to assign wRVUs. brnw.ch/21x1fAO
