The first meeting, held on January 23rd, 2024, marks a significant milestone in our commitment to enhancing patient care and healthcare advocacy. This initiative provides a critical platform for our physicians to actively engage in advocacy efforts, essential for advancing our profession.
Dr. Hasan leads the RCA Advocacy Subcommittee with a wealth of knowledge and passion for retina care. The inaugural meeting was a resounding success, setting the stage for future impactful initiatives. Our focus is steadfast on advocating for uninhibited patient access to evidence-based care and supporting independent physician decision-making, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.
Another key area of our advocacy focuses on decreasing patient burdens with insurance prior authorizations for procedures and medications. We are dedicated to streamlining processes that affect patient care and access to necessary treatments. This initiative is vital in our mission to provide the best care for our patients.
