Hello Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We hope this letter finds you well and in good health. As we look forward to emerging out of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, there are some recent developments in our specialty that warrants attention. On June 10, 2021, CMS announced new LCD proposal for epidural steroid procedures in pain management. Various societies including our parent ASIPP organization sent in open comment letters on our behalf advocating for our patients and our specialty. Although the open comment period ended on July 24, 2021, you can find the links for the proposed LCD, ASIPP fact sheet, and response letter.

Unfortunately, this proposal is followed by further uncertainties. On July 19, 2021, CMS announced potential 6% cuts to HOPD/ASC and 9.75% cuts to physician fee schedule unless congress takes action. These cuts will be detrimental to both our patients and our specialty. ASIPP will be leading the way in defending against these cuts. These efforts require both time and financial support. If you have not contributed, this is an excellent opportunity to renew your membership and support our PAC.
On a positive note, NJSIPP society will be reconvening our regional meeting this September. This will offer our members the opportunity to reconnect after the quarantine and rejuvenate our passion for interventional pain management. This will be a warmup to the long-awaited combined NY/NJSIPP meeting in November.
