APMA just launched the eAdvocacy Action Center — a grassroots platform built for members, students, and residents to weigh in on the federal and state policy that will define how you practice.
Reimbursement, scope of practice, and Medicare coverage aren't abstract attending-level problems — they're the terms of the job you're training for. The legislation moving through Congress today decides what your future practice looks like. The only people in the room are the ones who show up. The Action Center is the lowest-effort way to be one of them: pre-written messages routed to your own representatives, no fundraising, no insider access required.
"Grassroots advocacy is the way lawmakers see the real-world impact of policy on podiatry. As a resident, your voice counts the same as anyone's — and it's free to use it."
Modernizes the outdated Medicare documentation rules that delay therapeutic-shoe care for diabetic patients, and establishes Medicaid coverage parity for podiatrists.
Reforms Medicare budget-neutrality requirements to strengthen long-term payment stability — directly tied to what your work will be worth.
Go to the Action Center and pick an active campaign.
It auto-matches you to your members of Congress by address.
Edit the pre-written message if you want, then send. Done.
"I'm just a resident — this isn't for me yet." The platform is explicitly built for students and residents too. You don't need a PAC contribution, a title, or a practice. About two minutes is the whole ask.
