In just a few weeks, members of the ACR’s Board of Directors, advocacy committees and members still in fellowship will head to Capitol Hill during this year’s Advocacy Leadership Conference. They will be asking Congress to take action to stabilize Medicare physician payment rates and protect patient access to care. You can join them in this effort from anywhere.
The ACR’s Legislative Action Center makes it easy to get involved from home. Members can send a customized letter to lawmakers urging them to take action on Medicare physician payment. Although in-person meetings are a great way to get involved in the policymaking process, lawmakers are always looking for feedback and input from constituents when they have not yet made up their mind on an issue or are unsure about how a policy is impacting their community.
It only takes a few minutes to send customized messages to your lawmakers on a variety of policy issues impacting rheumatology providers, professionals and patients. The Legislative Action Center is available year-round—sign up for alerts to receive an email when your voice is needed on an issue that impacts your practice and your patients.
