AAHKS has released new resources to help you and your patients advocate for fair TJA reimbursement. Download the AAHKS Patient Education Flyer and display or provide it to your patients and encourage them to scan the QR code or click the link to write Congress. This will help explain the issues hip and knee surgeons are facing with the CMS proposed cuts to arthroplasty and provide your patients the ability to send a pre-generated letter to their Congressional Representative and Senators telling CMS to support their surgeon and surgical care by halting the proposed cuts to Medicare for 2027.Â
Â
If you are meeting with your Senators or Representative, please provide them with the AAHKS Congressional Issue Brief. You can also utilize this AAHKS Member Talking Points Brief to discuss the issue with Congress, your colleagues, health system and others who need to hear about the CMS proposed cuts to arthroplasty. All documents are also available on our AAHKS CMS Payment Resource page. Â
