Legislation and Advocacy

Medicare Action Toolkit


Your U.S. Senators and Representative need to hear that you want an extension of the current "doc fix" beyond Nov. 30, 2010. They also need to know that you want a permanent solution to this annual (and sometimes month-by-month) problem.

Download these tools as we gear up for a full-court press on the Medicare physician payment issue this fall.
Medicare Action Fact Sheet
-- Talking points that will be useful in your conversations with your patients and with your U.S. representative and senators
Sample Letter: From You to Your Patients
-- Ask your patients to contact Congress, urging an extension of the temporary patch and a permanent solution that will preserve their access to your services.
Sample Letter: Your Patients to Congress
-- Patients can send this letter to their U.S. Senators and Representatives, urging them to act on Medicare physician payment.
