Position Statements

A Position Statement (formerly known as a “policy statement”) is used to designate a statement, policy, or declaration of the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, and Foundation (AAO-HNS/F) on a particular topic or topics. Statements are created to formalize the AAO-HNS/F position on a clinical procedure or medical service with third party payers, for use in state and federal regulatory or advocacy efforts, or to clarify the AAO-HNS/F approval or disapproval of certain practices in medicine.

If you would like the Academy to consider drafting a Position Statement on a particular topic or are interested in revising an existing Position Statement, please submit details about the topic and your concerns at [email protected]. Academy staff will route your message to the appropriate Committee Chair(s) for consideration.

If you are interested in drafting a new Position Statement, please review the guidance document.

After an extensive review process by Academy Committees and the Physician Payment Policy (3P) Workgroup, the Executive Committee recently approved the following position statements:
