Membership Benefits

Improve Your Practice

• ACEP was emergency medicine’s sole representative on the AMA committee that reviewed RVUs. ACEP gained a significant increase in work values for emergency department E/M codes, thus gaining a 2% to 5% increase in collections, which could mean up to $10,000 per physician
• PaACEP was able to effectively secure Mcare abatement, a five million dollar premium savings for Pennsylvania’s emergency physicians
• ACEP played a leadership role in lobbying Congress to allocate $30 million in funding for trauma care system planning and development
