Please read and see where AOPA refuses to address this issue in an open
forum. Is this not an industry concern? Is my opinion only just if I am a
Dues paying member? and if I am does that change AOPA's position.
Everyone member and nonmembers alike read this and judge for yourself!
Mr. Howell -
Thank you for sharing your views. I will be glad to address your concerns
about AOPA, but first I need to verify your company's membership in our
organization. In order to help me do that, could you please provide the
name of your business.
As a membership organization, AOPA must devote its energy and resources to
responding to inquiries posed by its members. We do this in a variety of
ways including handling hundreds of telephone calls a month from dues-paying
members about Medicare issues, government relations matters, coding and
billing questions, compliance requirements and many other concerns which the
O&P community confronts daily. We also inform our membership of AOPA's
activities, policies and positions via our bi-weekly newsletter, a monthly
magazine, a Website (www.aopanet.org) and occasional postings on the
Listserv.
Once we have determined your company's membership status in AOPA, I look
forward to picking up the telephone and speaking with you directly about the
issues you've raised in your email. Alternatively, if you are not a member
of AOPA, I would be happy to discuss your concerns in the context of
describing how you can become a member of this fine organization which
represents over 1,400 patient care facilities, affiliate locations,
manufacturers, distributors, and educational and research institutions in
the O&P industry.
