The safety of all ACEP Reimbursement and Coding Conference attendees is a top priority to ACEP. By attending this educational conference in New Orleans, you agree to abide by and engage in certain beneficial health and safety conduct while attending the meeting. This includes, but is not limited to, attesting to vaccination status**, receiving a negative result on a self-administered antigen test no later than 24 hours prior to arrival at the event, maintaining appropriate physical distancing, and removing yourself from the event if you are ill or have been recently exposed to COVID-19. ACEP strongly recommends wearing a mask at all times during the event.
We continue to monitor the COVID-19 status and follow guidance from the CDC, state, local/city officials as well as following standards set forth by the venue. We will execute the following best practices to help attendees and staff stay healthy and to reduce exposure and risk.
**Attendees must fall into one of two categories:
- Received all doses (1 or 2 depending upon the vaccine manufacturer) in the primary series of an approved COVID-19 vaccine, per the CDC definition. ACEP strongly recommends attendees also be “up to date” with vaccines, which is defined by the CDC as having received all doses in the primary series and any boosters recommended for you, if eligible; or
- Unable to obtain the vaccine and have been approved for a medical exemption. Request an exemption and email completed forms to meetingregistrar@acep.org.
