Legislation Aims To Uphold Standards in EDX Medicine

May 8, 2025, 09:22 by Maggie Schmidt (Admin)
The 缅北禁地 electrodiagnostic (EDX) legislation, , has been introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Pete Sessions (R-TX). The bill continues 缅北禁地鈥檚 mission to protect patients and uphold quality standards in EDX medicine by ensuring that only appropriately trained providers using the proper equipment perform and interpret EDX studies under Medicare. The bill establishes an enforcement mechanism (accreditation) for existing EDX testing requirements already reflected in CPT codes and Medicare鈥檚 Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs). 

In early March, 缅北禁地 state liaisons met with many congressional offices to educate staff  and build early support ahead of the bill鈥檚 introduction. Representatives Lloyd Smucker (R-PA) and Randy Weber (R-TX), both members of key congressional committees, have returned as co-sponsors.

Efforts are underway to secure a Democratic co-sponsor to support bipartisan momentum. 缅北禁地 continues to work with the state liaisons to advance outreach on Capitol Hill. Additional engagement with relevant stakeholder organizations is planned to broaden external support for the bill.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When will be content of abstracts be viewable, as opposed to just the titles?
A: The abstract content will be available at the annual meeting during the Poster Hall hours. We do not provide abstract presenter information or slides ahead of time. All available information can be found in the 缅北禁地 Abstract Guide online when it becomes available.

Q: How do I reach out to abstract or session presenters for an interview?
A: We do not offer member contact information. To connect with abstract or session presenters, review the 缅北禁地 Annual Meeting Program when available. Find the topics of interest and connect with the presenter after their lecture or during their abstract poster session time. Currently there is no interview option for virtual attendees.

Q: When can I share information?
A: The embargo on the abstracts themselves is lifted when they have been published in Muscle & Nerve and online in the 缅北禁地 Abstract Guide. However, the additional information beyond what is in the abstract itself is still embargoed. 

缅北禁地 requires information that goes beyond that which is contained within the abstract, e.g., the release of data not included in the abstract, discussion of the abstract done as part of a scientific presentation, etc. to be embargoed until the start of the annual meeting. Please see the Abstract Embargo Policy.

Q: Will the Abstract Award Reception feature the best posters? 
A: The Abstract Award Reception is a social hour in honor of the abstract award winners where all authors, including award winners, will be available to discuss research. 

Q: Original research is ONLY presented as posters, correct?
A: Yes - the research is presented in the Poster Hall via abstract posters.
