Defend the Allergy Specialty – DASH - is the Advocacy Council’s mantra as we continue to fight for our patients and the future of our specialty. While we’re very pleased with the results of our advocacy with USP that resulted in less stringent allergy mixing requirements, that issue is only “napping.” As soon as USP decides to update Chapter <797>, we’ll be fighting again for your rights to continue preparing allergenic extract in your offices. This is not the time for us to become complacent or stand down.
While we remain vigilant on monitoring USP <797>, payors' use of AI to create pre-payment denials and delays, purposeful confusion between the CPT and Medicare’s definition of a dose, burdensome requests for documentation, or changes in reimbursement policies - all threaten our practices, our specialty, and our livelihoods. The list of issues grows longer daily, and we need to continue to defend the allergy specialty!
Great advocacy takes time, coordination, communication, persistence, and resolve. We have been working on overdrive to support allergists all across the country. Often, we must meet with medical directors, consult with legal advisors, and take the fight to Washington – these are all expenditures beyond our typical operating budget.
We need to continue to Defend the Allergy Specialty (DASH). We’re up to taking on these fights, but we need your support. We’ve got to act now, and we’ve got to act together. You can help us TODAY by making a contribution.
Help us fight for our patients.
Help us fight for the future of our specialty.
