@AlecStapp This chart is adjusted for inflation from 2017 dollars…. The physician fee schedule has decreased since then and is never increased for inflation. There is certainly an argument that can be made in support of more doctors, but please do not spread intentional falsehoods.

we should increase the supply of doctors

@ahelghawy @USSONAR_Rh It sounds like you’d get much more out of the advanced course.

A question for those who have taken the @USSONAR_Rh course As a rheum/sports doc trained in MSK US in sports med fellowship and use it almost daily in practice, would you recommend the basic or advanced course? Advanced with synovial biopsy sounds interesting, thoughts?

@petercgrayson A lot of weight given to ultrasound finding.

They are finally out! 2022 ACR/EULAR Classification Criteria for Giant Cell Arteritis and Takayasu's Arteritis!!!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar…

@CMSGov on 2023 final physician fee schedule addenda the CPT codes 76881/76882 now don’t have TC/26 modifiers despite being present previously. Any ideas why?

@MeganRa05580004 @DrChadJohr Ultrasound generally has similar diagnostic yield compared to biopsy for diagnosing Sjogrens.

@NU_Rheum_MSK_US This seems like a higher prevalence of extensor paratenonitis than I typically see in my RA patients.

2/3 of patients with early RA have extensor tendonitis in the fingers vs NOBODY in controls. #ultrasound #CommunityHub

@MithuRheum @DGlaucomflecken The best era.

@DGlaucomflecken What era is the green Pocket Medicine from?! 🤔

Don’t do it

@DavidP4AD @rheumecraig Washington post has had some good reporting on this

Amgen's Enbrel & Abbvie's Humira compete. But not really. One month after Abbvie hiked Humira monthly price by 7.4% to $5968, Amgen boosted Enbrel monthly price by--you guessed it--$7.4% to $5968. This isn't competition. This is shadow pricing & it hurts patients/consumers.

Inspiring talk by @kimschofield on her long history of advocacy as patient, constituent, and representative at #ACR19 #act4arthritis

Another great day of advocacy with @ACRheum #Act4Arthritis #rdam

Great dicussion with Senator Tillis to discuss barriers to rheumatologic care. #act4arthritis #RDAM @ACrheum

Elevated IgG levels part of criteria for autoimmune hepatitis.

80-95% of systemic sclerosis pts will have GI involvement. Can try reglan/erythromycin for gastropareisis and octreotide for SI, none great.

Lone Anti-SSB+ is not of diagnostic significance, often due to reaction to contaminants. #rheumedu
