AMA To Host Webinar on Medicare Payment Reform on August 1

July 18, 2024

The AMA will hold a webinar on its top federal priority - reforming Medicare's broken physician payment system on August 1 at 7 pm Central Time.  

Congress will soon be entering its August recess period, a time that provides physician advocates with opportunities to connect with their federal lawmakers back home.  

During the webinar, Jason Marino, AMA director of Congressional affairs, will provide an update on the current state of Medicare payment reform legislation and what lies ahead for the remainder of the 118th Congress. Advocacy expert David Lusk of Key Advocacy will discuss August recess advocacy best practices to prepare advocates for in-district legislative meetings, hosting members of Congress at site visits, and engaging with legislators online.
