Legislative Priorities

Members Lead the Way
As we prepare for our new strategic plan, we asked members to help set our future advocacy goals to sustain the profession, and ensure access to care for all Marylanders. 
Our Priorities 1. Administrative Burden 2. Appropriate Payment 3. Access to Care (Fair Copays | Network Adequacy) 4. Telehealth 5. Social Determinants of Health
Keeping Members Informed
As a service to our members, APTAMD has developed a toolkit  and advocacy course to assist you in being a part of our advocacy team. We also keep members up to date on legislative news and information through our members only government relations committee workspace .  There you will find a list of bills we are monitoring, hearing schedules, links to resources and prewritten letters for you and your patients. Legislative information is also updated continuously during the Session at the Maryland General Assembly web site. Members may also submit a question or comment on legislative issues by email to aptamd@aptamd.org.
