Prior authorization remains a significant administrative burden for family physicians, rating high among their challenges. Recently, Peggy Tighe from the Regulatory Relief Coalition joined the AAFP's Inside Family Medicine Podcast to delve into the reintroduction of the Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act. This discussion highlighted the importance of coalition engagement in advancing critical advocacy priorities. The American Academy of Family Physicians is honored to partner with the Regulatory Relief Coalition and we are excited to collaborate with Peggy and other coalition partners to propel this crucial legislation to completion. #Fightingforfamilymedicine #FamilyMedicine #HealthcareAdvocacy #RegulatoryReliefCoalition https://lnkd.in/gDxrismH

One of the best parts of my job is the work I get to do with truly incredible colleagues. So much work goes into making an advocacy fly-in a success and it’s truly a team effort from start to finish. I’m excited to see more than 270 family physicians take their stories to Capitol Hill this week with the goal of improving the state of primary care and the communities they serve. #fmas2024
