Over 35% of Medicare beneficiaries live with arthritis, and countless others experience fractures, injuries and mobility challenges. These patients risk delayed access to care as a result of cuts in the CY 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, putting their health and mobility at risk.
Hear more from Advocacy Council Chair @Joel_MayersonMD on the AAOS Now Podcast and join us in the fight for stable, evidence-based payment policies that preserve patient access.

The Thunder might just have the most terrifying frontcourt rotation in basketball 👀
Aday Mara, the 7-foot-3 sensation, has been putting on an absolute show throughout the preseason.
From a hyper-efficient 22-point, 10-for-10 night against Milwaukee to elite rim protection, crisp passing, and smooth touch around the rim.
Mara’s ceiling looks ridiculously high.
Sam Presti has built an absolute nightmare lineup of size and length.
Rotating Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein, Aday Mara, and Jaylin Williams means Oklahoma City can throw size, physical defense, and rim protection at anyone.
In a Western Conference where everyone is trying to figure out how to stop Victor Wembanyama, the Thunder essentially just assembled the "Wemby Stoppers.”
How high is Aday Mara’s ceiling in OKC’s system? 🤔

Orthopaedic advocates from California traded the coast for the Capitol during #NOLC2026 as they met with legislators to protect access to high quality musculoskeletal care.
How are you standing up for orthopaedic surgeons in your state?

Orthopedic surgeons moved joint replacements out of the hospital and saved Medicare money. Medicare is saying “thanks” by proposing to cut reimbursement to doctors by 17- 21% in 2027. Postoperative care did not disappear when patients went home the same day. It moved to the surgeons’ phones, inboxes and offices. Surgeons will be paid less than $700 for their time, mental effort, skill, and judgement for a knee, hip, or shoulder joint replacement.

Has an insurer ever reversed or reduced payment after approving a procedure?
Congress has made the first step in addressing clawbacks by introducing the Protecting Approved Care Act.
Watch to get the facts:
Clawbacks happen when Medicare Advantage plans retroactively deny coverage, reduce payment, or recoup funds after care has already been approved and provided.
These practices, create financial uncertainty for physicians and patients and add unnecessary administrative burdens to care.
Watch the video to learn more about clawbacks and how legislation like the Protecting Approved Care Act aims to address this issue.

What happens when insurance coverage exists, but too few physicians can afford to accept it? Patients may wait longer, lose access to routine care, or rely on the emergency room for help.
