YOU Can Make a Difference Today…Support H.R.4838 – SOS

Missy Von Luehrte (CSPR) and Julie Rounds (CSCR) will be visiting our U.S. Representatives and Senators on March 2 – 3, Day On The Hill (DOTH) 2020, to ask them to sign on for H.R.4838 SOS the Site of Service Bill and a companion Senate Bill.

We are asking all CSPR/AACVPR members to contact their own local Representative

​To give Missy and Julie the best chance for success in Washington, DC,  March 2 – 3, Day On The Hill (DOTH) 2020, we are asking all CSPR/AACVPR members to contact their own local Representative. (It's easy to lookup up your Representative with just your zip code.)

During the Day On The Hill (DOTH) 2019 AACVPR members found that all Representatives were very receptive to the Site of Service Bill but they really listened to their own state’s constituents.

Lobby Tally as of 2/21/20.

The GOAL: Visit all 55 offices to ask for bill sign-on

There is true power in numbers! How amazing would it be for Missy and Julie to walk into those offices, and be able to say: “Hundreds of your constituents have sent letters to you about this bill.” With your help we can get H.R.4838 passed and behind us so AACVPR can move forward on the next Medicare need!

Once you are on your Representative’s web page, simply click on the email icon. You can copy and paste the following statement or feel free to formulate your own or use AACVPR's customizable letters.

“I am asking if you will support H.R.4838 SOS Site of Service Bill with your sign-on. This bill will remove a barrier that prevents many cardiac and pulmonary rehab programs from growing to provide access to more patients. On March 2 and 3, 2020, the cardiac and pulmonary rehab organization AACVPR is sending two individuals to Washington, DC, to speak on my behalf, Missy Von Luehrte (missy_vonluehrte@elcaminohealth.org) and Julie Rounds (julie.rounds@stjoe.org).  They would like to meet with you or your healthcare advisor to discuss this important bill. Would you please consider scheduling a meeting?”
