AHA Site-neutral Advocacy Alliance Bulletin - January 8, 2024

Register for Jan. 11 Site-neutral Advocacy Alliance call

The AHA’s Site-neutral Advocacy Alliance will meet on Thursday, Jan. 11 at 1 p.m. ET. This call will feature updates on site-neutral provisions moving through Congress and next steps. Register for the Jan. 11 call here.

Please continue to urge your members of Congress to oppose including site-neutral cuts as part of a potential health care package tied to the Jan. 19 appropriations deadline. To help with your outreach, AHA’s site-neutral advocacy webpage contains a number of helpful resources, including:

• A fact sheet opposing site-neutral payment policies.
• A chart that highlights the rigorous standards for safe drug administration and preparation requirements that hospitals must meet compared to other sites of care.
• An infographic that shows private equity firms and health insurers — not hospitals — are responsible for most of the physician practice acquisitions during the last five years.
