F09 News You Need to Know: Advocacy and Policy Updates Featured

3:30 PM - 5:00 PM Friday, July 16

This session will highlight recent advocacy and policy decisions affecting the field of neuromodulation and interventional pain management. The maintenance of access to neuromodulation therapies will be critical to providing high-quality care. Recently, changes have occurred in evaluation and management and procedural coding and coverage determinations which influence patient access, documentation requirements, and reimbursement levels. In this session, these updates and changes will be discussed with respect to the field of neuromodulation and other common pain procedures (e.g., facet and epidural interventions).
As new technologies emerge in the field of neuromodulation and existing technologies are modified, it is critical to understand the AMA and CPT process including the survey process and development of category one and category three codes. These processes will be defined.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the introduction of telehealth. The future of telehealth in the field of neuromodulation will be discussed. Concerns regarding the privacy and security risks of telehealth will also be discussed.
