Oct. 28, 2022: Advocacy Update spotlight on webinar for AMA grassroots updates

| 1 Min Read

As we approach the end of this year and head into the next, physicians are taking this message to Congress: Reforming Medicare payment and fixing prior authorization need to top the agenda. Without Congressional action, physician practices that have already been weathered by the pandemic will face an 8%+ pay cut next year. Not only that but prior authorization continues to delay patient care, cause patient harm and create practice hassles.    

Register for the latest AMA Advocacy Insights webinar on Nov. 3 at 11:00 a.m. Central and join AMA President Jack Resneck Jr., MD, in conversation with Todd Askew, SVP, AMA Advocacy and Jason Marino, director, AMA Congressional Affairs, to hear about the AMA’s grassroots calls to action on these issues and what you can do.
