Advocacy

Our health policy agenda consists of a variety of issues to serve practicing surgeons, including Medicare physician payment, medical liability reform, and more.

We know state legislatures can often meet the needs of citizens in a way that Congress cannot. This can directly impact surgeons, making it even more important to be involved in grassroots advocacy.

We analyze and advocate on regulations that affect surgeons and surgical care.

Learn how Medicare’s TEAM model reshapes surgical episode payments, requiring 700+ hospitals to manage cost and quality through 2030.

Rising pediatric e-bike injuries mirror motor vehicle trauma due to gaps in US federal regulations.

Coordinated surgeon engagement in advocacy efforts helps shape policy regarding reimbursement and patient care.
