As advocates for patients and physicians, the Alliance of Specialty Medicine is intimately involved in the modernization, renovation and transformation of the Medicare program. Every day federal law and regulations dictate almost every aspect of a physician’s practice, including where, how and why a patient can be seen; what treatments can be utilized; how much and when a physician will receive reimbursement; and many administrative requirements. The Alliance is committed to insuring that older and disabled Americans continue to have access to timely, high quality medical care while physicians are reimbursed fairly and accurately for the services they provide.

Currently, the Alliance’s Medicare efforts focus on two general areas, with other issues arising on occasion:

Medicare Physician Payment

Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003

Additional Medicare Issues
