Advocacy to Improve Physician Payment

June 07, 2022

The Society advocates to increase physician payment to recognize the value endocrinologists bring to the health care system. Activities include:

  • Averting Medicare Cuts: Society advocacy resulted in averting significant Medicare physician payment cuts.  We continue to call on Congress to improve the Medicare physician payment system.
  • Improving Coverage and Coding: Society advocacy includes representation at the American Medical Association’s Relative Value Update Committee and Advisors to the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Committee. Chase Hendrickson, MD, MPH, Sandhya Chhabra, MD, Allan Glass, MD, and Vijay Shivaswamy, MD, represent the Endocrine at the RUC and CPT. We are the only endocrine organization that participates.
