Subject: [OANDP-L] URGENT: ALABAMA FIGHT
If this was about football, I would get a thousand responses! Medicaid wants to cut O&P completely. Adults and Peds. If you have a argumentative bone in your body, please fight this! It sets the stage for other payers to follow their lead. Deadline is the 4th, please DO SOMETHING TODAY! Use the template, write your own, but respond.
