The focus of the Electrophysiology Section and Section Leadership Council is on the specialties of cardiac electrophysiology and electrocardiography and includes all aspects of management and treatment of heart rhythm disorders. The EP Section serves as a point of engagement and resource for ACC members who are interested in arrhythmia care.

The mission of the EP Section Council is to provide academic output in the form of reviews and perspective pieces that can serve as resources for cardiologists and electrophysiologists, promote both physician- and patient-facing educational initiatives and advocate on behalf of patients and physicians on vital issues involving arrhythmia care.

Please join us in making this a vibrant Section of the College. Any and all ideas are welcome. The Section is YOUR opportunity to become engaged with the College within your interest area. As the Chair of the EP Section, I welcome any and all of our ACC members to join and contribute to the important work of this group!

Look Out For RUC Surveys on PCI, LAA Services

March 1, 2024

Announcements

In the coming weeks, you may be randomly selected to complete a survey for the American Medical Association's (AMA's) Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC). Survey participants will be asked to estimate the typical time, intensity and complexity of their work and the Relative Value Unit (RVU) for the procedure in comparison to a list of reference services with established RVUs. Feedback from these surveys are used to create AMA recommendations to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Upcoming surveys will look at the PCI family of codes and the existing code for percutaneous transcatheter closure of the left atrial appendage (LAA), respectively. Check your email folders for survey emails from Matt Minnella via a noreply@qemailserver.com email address. The deadline for both surveys is Tuesday, March 12. Learn more about the RUC process here.
