ASCRS Advocacy Works for You—Stay Informed with Washington Watch Weekly

Washington Watch Weekly is an e-newsletter and ASCRS member benefit that keeps you up-to-speed on the important activities on “the Hill” and other regulatory, reimbursement, and compliance issues that affect daily ophthalmic practice.

Learn about the latest reimbursement news, government policies impacting ophthalmology, and the advocacy efforts that ASCRS Government Relations conduct on its members’ behalf.

Most recently, ASCRS and the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) advocacy directly led to Aetna reversing its prior authorization policy for cataract surgery. For a year, ASCRS and AAO engaged in a targeted advocacy campaign alongside its members to call attention to this harmful policy that delayed patient care, leading to its reversal in all but two states earlier this month. ASCRS continues to fight unnecessary prior authorization policies.
