It’s Your Money.
Costs keep rising, but reimbursement rates remain stagnant. Do you
want this trend to continue? At the 2005 O&P Policy Forum, we will be
fighting to prevent an extension of the Medicare payment freeze while
also addressing other important issues to the O&P profession.
It’s Your Message.
Educating your lawmakers is the key to success on Capitol Hill. If you
don’t speak out on behalf of O&P, who will? At this event, we will
engage our lawmakers on a variety of topics including the effects of
reimbursements on O&P businesses and our patients. Decision-makers
need to know that the policies they set can have serious repercussions
on quality and access to O&P care.
It’s Your Move.
The O&P Policy Forum is convenient for O&P professionals traveling from
other parts of the country to attend. While the Policy Forum is a
three-day event, attendees can stay for just two nights.
Attendees will:
* Receive briefings from key Members of Congress and policy-makers on
important O&P issues
* Learn how to lobby legislators
* Receive “Capitol Hill 101” training from expert AOPA staff; and
* Attend lobbying visits (via pre-arranged appointments) with senators
and representatives.
The future of O&P is being decided now-attend the 2005 O&P Policy Forum
for $150! Registration fee covers hotel meeting expenses and some group
meals. Register at
