Today, on Veterans Day, we pause to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served our great nation. Your courage, sacrifice, and commitment to something greater than yourselves have protected the freedoms we enjoy every single day.
As emergency physicians, we understand the meaning of service, but we also recognize that few sacrifices compare to those made by our veterans and their families. We owe you a debt of gratitude that words alone can never repay.
From all of us at the American College of Emergency Physicians, THANK YOU to our veterans, especially those who continue their service by caring for patients and communities across our nation.
We are the land of the free because of the brave. May we never forget the sacrifices behind our freedom.
Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸
Ryan A. Stanton, MD, FACEP
President, American College of Emergency Physicians

Physician reimbursement down 12% while..
Healthcare insurance premiums up 146%
Admin roles up 156%
Make sense?
We just wrapped the @AmerMedicalAssn interim meeting in Orlando. Emergency medicine was well represented, fighting for physicians, our departments, and our patients. I appreciate all the physicians they gave their time and energy, fighting for EM. @ACEPNation @hilaryfair @emresidents @EverydayMed

While doctor reimbursement got cut 12%, premiums went up 146%, and commercial health insurance’s (BUCA) valuations went up 308%…
Wonder how that happened… 🤨
@UHC @Cigna @Aetna @ElevanceHealth
It's annual paycut season for doctors, brought to us by @CMSGov…
And, drumroll…it's a cut. Again.
-2.31% for most of the house of medicine in 2027 on the RVU conversion factor (to $32.63/RVU).
Adjusted for inflation, that's:
A one-year 4.7% decrease,
A 10-year cut of 32.6%,
A 20-year cut of 46%.
Yikes.
Thanks, @RobertKennedyJr.
😬😬😬
This is why organizations and emergency physicians working together matters…you move the needle for physicians and the patients we serve. Great work by the entire EM section council at the @AmerMedicalAssn. @EverydayMed @ACEPNation @aaeminfo

The PFS has been released and as usual(6 of 7 years), physicians are getting a cut. Now more than ever, it is time to organize, advocate, and fight for physician care and patient access!!! @ACEPNation @EverydayMed
Still representing the @ColoradoACEP pin.
Day #2 of @ColoradoACEP and it's time to say words before heading out to the @AmerMedicalAssn in Orlando. @ACEPNation @EverydayMed

Here is my week(s) in review to keep the transparency flowing on how I/we are fighting for emergency physicians and our patients. It’s not a comprehensive summary as I don’t have long enough, but definitely some of the major topics. @ACEPNation @ACEPpresident @ACEPprez
Tonight is the ACEP Boarding Survey. We want to put a spotlight on the challenges that facility overcrowding and ED boarding face with regard to throughput, quality, and access. Join us!!! @ACEPNation
