The AcuNet Advisory Council is a group of acupuncture providers that collaborate with their peers on a quarterly basis. The Council meets virtually to discuss industry news and advances in the field. Be a part of the action by joining the AcuNet Advisory Council today! Fulcrum looks to our Council to advise and provide recommendations on matters of medical appropriateness, community standards of care related to clinical policies, outcome tools to show quality, guidelines, and other shared topics.

In addition to the financial incentive, submitting your clinical outcomes shows how you compare to your peers and generates shared learning from colleagues.  More information on the incentive and the eligibility guidelines are available for Gold tier providers in Fulcrum's Provider Portal under the Quality Rewards tab in the Learning Hub section of portal.
