APMA's new legislative priority is the Diabetes Foot Health Access and Modernization Act, which would modernize outdated Medicare documentation requirements, which cause significant delays in care for therapeutic shoes, and establish Medicaid coverage parity for podiatrists.

To help support the advancement of this legislation and facilitate member advocacy, APMA created a new web page with information on bill co-leads, endorsing organizations, press releases, and bill text.

The page also includes a toolkit with materials members can easily use to advocate for this legislation with lawmakers. Get started today and urge your members of Congress to cosponsor the bill!
