TRENDING TOPICS
TMA stands firm in opposition to audiologists' scope
proposed legislation
By Mary E. Nava, MBA
Chief Governmental and Community Relations
Officer
Recently, TMA joined with more
than 110 national organizations, along with state and local medical
associations and specialty societies, to address Congress in a
letter vehemently opposing H.R. 5304, the Audiology Patient Choice
Act of 2014, which would provide audiologists with unlimited,
direct access to Medicare patients without a physician referral.
Equally troubling is that the
proposed legislation also would amend Title XVIII of the Social
Security Act to include audiologists in the definition of "physician."
To read the letter to Speaker
John Boehner and Leader Nancy Pelosi, click here.
For local discussion on this and other advocacy
topics, consider joining the BCMS Legislative and Socioeconomics
Committee by contacting Mary Nava.
