AUDIOLOGY ADVOCATE | Honing the Message in Advocacy: Member Engagement for Making Change
When the American Academy of Audiology came together with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and the Academy of Doctors of Audiology (ADA) to build the Medicare Audiologist Access and Services Act (H.R. 1587/S. 1731) in 2018, it was critical to craft legislation that would address all three of the main components of legislation that each organization had been pursuing. The goal was to modernize Medicare to allow direct access to audiologists by removing the physician referral requirement, reclassify audiologists as practitioners, and expand covered audiological services beyond diagnosis to treatment. These changes would give audiologists additional opportunities under Medicare and also help align audiologists with other doctoral-level health professionals.
