Academy advocacy spurs significant new flexibility in Quality Payment Program.
The Academy wants to hear from our community of U.S. ophthalmologists who have witnessed increasing prescription drug prices. We’ll use this data to impact D.C.-based efforts to preserve fair treatment prices for our patients.
Your engagement in advocacy is yielding strong results for our profession. We are proud to showcase these efforts in the Academy’s Washington Mid-Year Report 2017.
Academy Secretary for Federal Affairs George A. Williams, MD, and D.C. staff met with the heads of the U.S. Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service to advance a number of ophthalmology's issues.
The Academy will honor one of our greatest advocacy champions through the Robert A. Copeland Jr., MD Advocacy Education Fund. The fund helps the Academy continue Dr. Copeland’s work of engaging young ophthalmologists and residents in our profession’s advocacy efforts.
