The Academy teamed up with the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA) and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) to push for expanded Medicare beneficiary access to audiologists and audiology services through the Medicare Audiology Access Improvement Act (MAAIA) legislation.
Audiologists play a crucial role in helping to pass the MAAIA during the lame duck session by reaching out to their members of Congress.
Your voice is essential in advocating for removing barriers to audiology services for the nation’s most vulnerable citizens. Take action today by visiting the Academy’s Legislative Action Center to send a message urging your representatives to support the MAAIA’s passage this year.
