APWCA - Legislative Committee
The legislative committee is a standing committee that answers directly to
the board of directors and the president. It is actively
involved on a regular basis in reviewing legislative activity that affects
the manner and/or the ability to which healthcare is delivered to patients
requiring wound care. This includes reimbursement issues, service issues,
and other aspects that directly affect the delivery of healthcare.
APWCA, through the Insurance Committee, has draft correspondence send to
Congress representatives in support of bill H.R. 699. A copy of the one of
the original letters, signed by legislative committee members, can be found in
Adobe Format. An additional MS Word format is also available, which can be
used by APWCA members and is found by going to the Insurance Initiative link on
the homepage, or by clicking here.
Representatives from the board of directors and APWCA legislative committee
continue to meet with CMS and other related agencies on a regular basis.
The most recent face to face meeting, which involved members of this
association, occurred on June 13, 2006.
It exemplified the many aspects in which this committee interacts with
legislative bodies on behalf of all those involved in health care delivery for
the patients requiring wound care.
