Goals

Evaluate proposed legislation to understand its impact on interventional cardiologists and our patients.
Ongoing outreach to federal agencies (evaluate and develop comment letters in response to proposed FDA, CMS, NIH, AHRQ federal regulations, getting to know agencies/outreach to federal agencies, assess existing relationships with agencies).
Support select new interventional cardiology technologies by advocating for coverage and reimbursement of those technologies, when appropriate to support patient-centered decision making.
Engage in federal and state-level legislative and regulatory proposals to positively influence the outcome.
Identifying members who have strong contacts with key members of Congress.
