The OAASC is again joining with the ASCA to hold an Ohio fly-in to Washington, D.C. on June 4-5

 

This is one of the most crucial advocacy efforts of the year since the purpose is to discuss the Medicare payment inequity for ASCs. Administrators and physicians participation and support is crucial to the event's success.

 

My trip to D.C. was a total eye-opener on how our Government works! It showed me how important it is to educate our representatives on what an ASC can provide, since some of them didn’t even really understand what an ASC is or how we do business. 

Our local representatives with whom we met listened to our concerns and actually acted upon our requests by supporting and co-sponsoring the ASC legislation addressing our cost of living increases with Medicare.   It was overall a very good experience for me and I plan to go back again this year!
