Take Action

Day on the Hill

AACVPR’s Day on the Hill (DOTH) brings members together in Washington, D.C. to meet with elected officials. Day on the Hill gives AACVPR members an opportunity to meet with their legislators and legislative staffs as constituents, as voters and healthcare professionals to advocate for their profession.

Regulatory, Legislative & Reimbursement Resources

AACVPR and our Affiliates are pursuing multiple strategies, both nationally and regionally, to enhance third-party payment for cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation and prevention services. Reimbursement Updates are sent via email to members once per month.

• AACVPR members receive regular monthly Reimbursement Updates via email to stay up to date on all of the most recent information.*
• AACVPR Central offers a space for Health & Public Policy discussion, allowing members to share information, ask questions and access resources to address their reimbursement challenges.*
