Urgent Call to Action

4 May 2013 6:29 PM | Julie Feirer (Administrator)

Your help is needed TODAY to protect cardiac and pulmonary rehab programs! 

·         AACVPR requests that cardiopulmonary rehab professionals, referring physicians, hospital administrators IMMEDIATELY contact their U.S. Senators to urge them to Co-sponsor a bill that will correct the unintended legislative language which restricts physician supervision of cardiac and pulmonary rehab programs by nurse practitioners, physician assistants and clinical nurse practitioners. 

·         S.382 was co-introduced by Senators Schumer (D-NY) and Crapo (R-ID) on February 26, 2013.

·         This bill is NO COST because physician supervision of cardiac and pulmonary rehab is not billable to Medicare. 

·         This bill is NON PARTISAN. Access to care for Medicare beneficiaries is not a Republican or Democratic issue.

·         This bill CORRECTS THE BLOCK TO ACCESS TO CARE FOR MEDICARE BENEFICIARIES for services they have a right to receive under public law 110-275.
