Not only are there new CPT codes in the\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/newsroom\/fact-sheets\/calendar-year-cy-2025-medicare-physician-fee-schedule-final-rule\">2025 Medicare Physician Fee schedule final rule<\/a> that can support the work of LM clinicians in offering equitable whole person care, the continued expansion and revision of value-based care, as well as hybrid and alternative payment models (APMs) offer opportunity for lifestyle medicine clinicians who are able to achieve better health outcomes at a lower cost of care. While both fee-for-service and value-based care delivery models are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.namd.org\/journal-of-medicine\/3210-how-pcps-are-penalized-for-positive-outcomes-from-lifestyle-change.html\">far from perfect<\/a>\u2014and we acknowledge the continued reduction in physician payment presents a huge challenge for many\u2014we still see the economic opportunities for clinicians in the field expanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lifestyle medicine clinicians, as chronic disease experts, are well-positioned to play a pivotal role in healthcare transformation through the continued delivery of evidence-based, high-value, guideline-driven, whole-person care. By leveraging guideline-driven lifestyle interventions as a first therapeutic approach and guiding patients through medication de-escalation, lifestyle medicine clinicians are prepared to view disease prevention and health restoration as realistic goals for many of their patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improving treatment of chronic conditions&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The healthcare landscape is also shifting. The world is finally waking up to the need to dramatically improve the treatment of chronic conditions by realigning incentives to reward preventive health measures, whole-person care, interdisciplinary care team delivery, clinical-community bridges, health equity and interventions that support better health outcomes. We see this culture shift reflected in National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine reports defining both <a href=\"https:\/\/nap.nationalacademies.org\/catalog\/25983\/implementing-high-quality-primary-care-rebuilding-the-foundation-of-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">high-quality primary care<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalacademies.org\/our-work\/transforming-health-care-to-create-whole-health-strategies-to-assess-scale-and-spread-the-whole-person-approach-to-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">whole-person health<\/a>, and in the Senate Finance Committee\u2019s hearing and white paper on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finance.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/051723_phys_payment_cc_white_paper.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bolstering Chronic Care Thorough Physician Payment Reform<\/a>. We see it in Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) models that support interdisciplinary care teams and health equity, in ACLM\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/articles\/aclm-inducted-into-house-of-delegates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">induction<\/a> into the American Medical Association House of Delegates, and in the launch of the <a href=\"https:\/\/odphp.health.gov\/foodismedicine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Food Is Medicine toolkit<\/a> by the Department of Health and Human Services, which featured several of ACLM\u2019s resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/black-doctor-mature-patient.webp\" alt=\"Black doctor consulting with older patient in her home\" class=\"wp-image-27065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/black-doctor-mature-patient.webp 1024w, https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/black-doctor-mature-patient-300x158.webp 300w, https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/black-doctor-mature-patient-768x405.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New payment resources&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigating the world of payment for lifestyle medicine can be complicated, and ACLM is dedicated to supporting our members with resources and our advocacy efforts. This year, ACLM developed several new payment-specific <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/tools-and-resources\/\">resources<\/a>, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.lifestylemedicine.org\/viewdocument\/shared-medical-appointment-financia\">shared medical appointment financial calculator, <\/a> the list of <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.lifestylemedicine.org\/viewdocument\/billiable-services-by-clinician\">billable lifestyle medicine clinician services<\/a>, and the updated <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.lifestylemedicine.org\/viewdocument\/reimbursement-roadmap-v2\">Reimbursement Roadmap<\/a>, which features both fee-for-service and alternative payment models that are successfully being leveraged in the field of lifestyle medicine.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that a few of the most financially successful and scalable clinical delivery models for lifestyle medicine implementation include shared medical appointments (group medical visits), intensive cardiac rehabilitation, chronic and collaborative care management, as well as engagement with an LM-focused Accountable Care Organization, all of which are featured in depth in the Reimbursement Roadmap. We also offer an entire suite <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.lifestylemedicine.org\/resource-sma\">of shared medical appointment resources<\/a> in our members-only Connect platform, including a new series of short videos that can be played at the beginning of shared medical appointments to introduce the basics of lifestyle medicine. ACLM also offers a collection of <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.lifestylemedicine.org\/resource-implementation\">implementation briefs<\/a> that showcase various models of lifestyle medicine implementation across a variety of clinical care settings, many of which leverage the shared medical appointment model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reimbursement and group medical visit interest groups&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ACLM also supports both Reimbursement and Group Medical Visit Member <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/student-interest-groups-lmig\/\">Interest Groups<\/a> where online discussion and resource sharing occur regularly in addition to quarterly virtual group meetings. This collection of reimbursement and delivery resources and support builds on the foundation of existing resources for members on this topic, including the inaugural Reimbursement Summit led by Padmaja Patel, MD, FACLM DipABLM, in September 2023, which showcased the variety of opportunities for payment in the field of lifestyle medicine. A <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestylemedicine.org\/project\/reimbursement-summit\/\">recording is available<\/a> for ACLM members to watch free of charge.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to resources, ACLM also has allocated and will continue to allocate much time and energy advocating for the removal of barriers, expansion of payment, and quality measure alignment for the field of lifestyle medicine, much of which you can read about in ACLM\u2019s new quarterly advocacy report.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ACLM is here to support members and the communities they serve in achieving health and health restoration. The Board of Directors and staff are committed to fulfilling our vision of a world wherein lifestyle medicine is the foundation of all health and healthcare as the standard of care. We know there is more work to do, and we believe that there is no limit to what we can achieve together.
