Automatic downcoding is a threat to physician practices survival. We have to protect patient access to care.

For those who know me well, my favorite Chicago summer pastime is to watch performances at the Pritzker Pavilion in Millenium Park. The finale of the season is always the @LyricOpera performance, a preview of the upcoming season. Thankful that I can be here. With my husband. ❤️

This Independence Day, @PresAmerMed Willie Underwood III, MD, MSc, MPH shares a powerful reminder: physicians have been helping shape America since its founding, and their leadership is needed now more than ever.
As our nation marks 250 years, let’s honor the legacy of the physician signers of the Declaration of Independence and continue the work of building a healthier, stronger future for all. 🇺🇸

Summer in Chicago is a special time. The city comes alive with music and the lake is teeming with boats! My favorite thing to do is to go to the Grant Park Music Festival, have a picnic and listen to music under the stars with the city as a backdrop. Summer has officially begun.

You think it’s tough to see a doctor now? Without immediate action, it’s about to get a lot worse. J-1 visa delays could prevent international medical graduates (IMGs) from starting their training this July, leaving hospitals short-staffed and patients at risk. As Dr. Bobby Mukkamala, @PresAmerMed, states: IMGs aren’t taking jobs; they’re filling critical gaps in communities like Flint, MI, and across rural America. The AMA has urged the State Department to prioritize visa appointments for these essential physicians. We must act now so patients can get the care they deserve.

TY to our sponsors and committee members for advancing the downcoding bill! This is an important step toward protecting patients and ensuring fair reimbursement for physician care. We urge timely passage on the House floor. #twill @sharonchungIL @WilliamHauter @JeffKeicher

A House committee signed off Tuesday to ban health insurers from using artificial intelligence for a billing practice where a procedure or service is billed at a lower level than what was actually provided.

During #WomensHistoryMonth, we celebrate the trailblazing women in medicine who serve as vital pillars of care, innovation, and leadership in the neurosurgical field.
AANS/CNS Washington Committee member Laura Stone McGuire, MD - a neurosurgeon at UW Health - shared the following message in honor of this important month and the women shaping the future of healthcare:

The mean age of physicians who leave clinical practice in the US is now 48.1 years, 9 years younger than observed in a similar cohort in 2008.
The biggest causes cited were stress and the hassles of practice.
11% of women decided not to even enter practice.
What are your thoughts about this?

Heard of new Medicare TEAM (Transforming Episode Accountability Model)? It started in January, is mandatory for designated hospitals, and bundles payment for CABG, joint replacement, bowel, hip fracture, and spine surgery.

This is such a huge win for our seniors. In 2019 utilization was low. COVID accelerated adoption to the point even my mom loves it. Thank you @AmerMedicalAssn for continuing to advocate for this. #Medicare #SeniorCare #PhysicianAdvocacy
For the next two years, Medicare patients and physicians will be able to use telehealth services knowing that they will be covered without interruption.
The recently passed government funding package—the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026—renewed the telehealth coverage that so many older adults have relied on since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, an extension that the AMA strongly supports and continues to advocate to make permanent. spr.ly/6011h2bS7
