The O&P profession’s survival and your survival depends in large part on what happens in Washington. Witness RAC audits, delayed ALJ hearing and more that can only be fixed by your Members of Congress. That’s why you and the profession needs to participate in the April 2-4, 2014 Policy Forum.
The 2014 Policy Forum is also your best opportunity to learn the latest legislative and regulatory happenings and how they will affect you, your business and your patients. Once you are armed with the facts, we as a profession will meet with our respective Members of Congress to offer common sense solutions and share how the O&P profession restores lives and puts people back to work. Your Congressional appointments will be organized by AOPA staff and lobbyist.
The Policy Forum will be held April 2-4 at the Renaissance Hotel, 999 Ninth Street, NW, Washington, DC. Policy Forum attendees will participate in enlightening sessions, such as:
