🙏 Thank you Sen. Marshall Mark Warner Rep. Mike Kelly Suzan DelBene Ami Bera, M.D. @DrJohnJoycePA for championing the #SeniorsAct! Ophthalmologists see daily how prior auth delays harm patients while 80% of denials get overturned on appeal - this reform is overdue! #Fixpriorauth

Prior auth shouldn't delay or determine whether a patient gets their retinal injection or any essential eye care. Grateful to Sen. Marshall Mark Warner & House champions for the Seniors' Act. Tell your lawmakers to act. ow.ly/cc3950VXZBj

@CMSgov has proposed an increase of more than 3% to #Medicare physician payments in 2026. It's a step in the right direction — but structural reform is still needed. Details to come at AAO.org

Meeting with CMS Deputy Administrator Chris Klomp regularly. Here discussing concerns with the recent changes in proposed rule for the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule in CY2026. We must make sure physicians can afford to see Medicare patients.
