- Members needed to tell Congress to protect patients; some will "fly-in" Wednesday
Looming cuts to pathology services, tariffs on medical supplies, physician shortages, and other issues are affecting pathologists and laboratories nationwide. Without congressional action, these issues will have a detrimental effect on your labs and your patients.
Now is the time to contact your members of Congress.
This Wednesday, invited CAP members in key Congressional districts will participate in a virtual fly-in to meet with federal lawmakers and to advocate for critical issues affecting pathologists, laboratory medicine, and patients. While these members participate in the fly-in, all CAP members can raise their voices using the action alerts below.
Contact Congress: Use these Action Alerts today to tell your federal lawmakers to:
- Support the RESULTS Act to stabilize laboratory services and stop Medicare payment cuts.
- Reform the current Medicare payment model.
Other asks:
- Address the physician workforce shortage by supporting legislation that boosts the number of doctors practicing in the United States.
- Oppose the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act. We must stop this legislation that would allow the patenting of human genes and naturally occurring associations between genes and disease.
- Reform prior authorization. We need Congress to support legislation that reduces burdensome prior authorization requirements that interfere with both your practice and patient access to pathology services.
