Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for your Senator or Representative - Keep trying if you don't get through. We must make our voices heard and there are many people calling about health care reform and the energy bill.
- Speak with your Senator's legislative health assistant. Be sure to get his/her name. This is critical information for Karen to follow-up with the staff. Please note that we have found that emails and messages left with receptionists are not working.
- Ask that your Senator/Representative co-sponsor The Medicaid Birth Center Reimbursement Act (H.R. 2359 in the House, S.1423 in the Senate). Tell them CMS is denying payment for birth center facility charges, so we have introduced legislation to Congress adding Birth centers to Medicaid's covered services. This is a permanent solution to the payment crisis.
- Call or email AABC's lobbyist Karen Fennell and tell her who you talked with and any comments or additional information requested. Call Karen at 301-830-3910; Send email to fennell.karen.s@gmail.com.
