Translating Genes Into Health
关于我们
Founded in 1991, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) is the only nationally recognized medical society dedicated to improving health through the clinical practice of medical genetics and genomics and the only medical specialty society in the US that represents the full spectrum of medical genetics disciplines in a single organization. ACMG is the largest membership organization specifically for medical geneticists, providing education, resources and a voice for more than 2,400 clinical and laboratory geneticists, genetic counselors and other healthcare professionals, nearly 80% of whom are board certified in the medical genetics specialties. Four overarching strategies guide ACMG's work: 1) to reinforce and expand ACMG’s position as the leader and prominent authority in the field of medical genetics and genomics, including clinical research, while educating the medical community on the significant role that genetics and genomics will continue to play in understanding, preventing, treating and curing disease; 2) to secure and expand the professional workforce for medical genetics and genomics; 3) to advocate for the specialty; and 4) to provide best-in-class education to members and nonmembers. Genetics in Medicine, published monthly, is the official ACMG peer-reviewed journal. ACMG’s website (www.acmg.net) offers resources including policy statements, practice guidelines, educational programs and a ‘Find a Genetic Service’ tool. The educational and public health programs of ACMG are dependent upon charitable gifts from corporations, foundations and individuals through the ACMG Foundation for Genetic and Genomic Medicine.

ACMG is pleased to have collaborated with National Society of Genetic Counselors to get a new CPT? code, 96041, for #geneticcounselors. 96041 captures total GC time on day of encounter instead of only face-to-face time. More on the full 2025 code set available at https://bit.ly/3ZvLvcQ #medicalgenetics
??NEW: Genetic counselors have a new CPT? Code: 96041 launching January 2025! This is a positive step for our profession, ensuring genetic counselors can serve as vital healthcare partners for our provider colleagues and patients. ? Under the new code, billing will be based on the "total time” provided by the genetic counselor on the date of the encounter. ? In the coming weeks, NSGC will engage with members and external partners, including payors, starting with a can’t-miss plenary session on Sept. 19 at the #NSGC24 Annual Conference. ? We thank our volunteer and consultant teams, as well as ACMG - American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics for their efforts to help ensure that we can continue to deliver crucial services to our patients. ? Stay tuned for more resources as we transition to the new code going live in January 2025. #GeneChat

May the record reflect…that the ACMG has published “Points to consider for providing expert witness testimony for the specialty of #medicalgenetics.” The statement covers qualifications, ethical guidelines for legal proceedings, standards of care of medical practice, and ethical business practices. https://bit.ly/4dX2ngI This points to consider statement updates guidelines published in 2000. Since then, the scope of genetics and #genomics has become further delineated in accordance with evolving roles and specializations. Genetics in Medicine #ethics #legal #ELSI
