Member Value
APTAMD’S Strategic Plan provides a framework that outlines our priority to protect the long-term sustainability of the profession by leading and championing local advocacy efforts. Leading the charge are our Directors for Government Relations, Practice. and Reimbursement. We invite our members to join a meeting and or committee/workgroup to stay connected, provide feedback, and guide our efforts. This is a collaborative effort with APTA as we work together to increase payment, reduce the cost of education, and strengthen provider health and well-being.
APTA Articles of Interest
This July our Directors for Government Relations and Reimbursement are headed to Kansas City, MO to work with other components on state payment advocacy. In addition, we will be meeting with APTA on 2025 Payment Forecast: MIPS, Medicare Reform, MVPs, and More.
Protecting and Promoting Public Health
Issues related to public health and human rights should never be partisan. We believe that health professions’ organizations are obliged to take action to protect and promote public health. To that end, we must occasionally make a public statement and take, not a political stance, but a humanitarian one when it comes to relevant social issues that affect public health and human rights.
