NRAA's Legislative Program

Details

The National Renal Administrators Association (NRAA) provides a voice in Washington, DC for its membership through the implementation of a strong and multi-faceted federal legislative and regulatory advocacy program. We also serve as an educational resource for policymakers on national and local issues pertaining to End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

You can also become involved in our grassroots campaign by using our Capwizâ„¢ Legislative Advocacy Program ~ just click on the icon below. For step by step instructions on sending an "Action Alert" email to your legislators click here.

Our activities in Washington include:

• Coordinating with U.S. Senate and House leadership, Members of Congress, Senators and their staff who serve on committees with jurisdiction or have a demonstrated interest in ESRD policy to promote better understanding of our issues and encourage favorable consideration for the renal industry in legislation and federal oversight activities.
• Communicating with the White House, Office of Management and Budget, Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies and commissions that develop ESRD-related regulatory policy to encourage equitable treatment for the industry in regulations and coverage determinations.
• Informing NRAA members of legislative and regulatory policy developments through our weekly e-mail, Renal Watch, and when appropriate, encouraging the membership to weigh in on federal policy issues as they develop.

NRAA's federal advocacy activities are coordinated and carried out in consultation with the Board of Directors by NRAA's Washington Representative, Jerry Klepner, and his team at Prime Policy.
