Watch the video below of MOPA in action at the recent State Leadership Conference! 

MOPA was well represented at the 2012 APA State Leadership Conference in Washington, DC.  Our delegation consisted of (L-R), Denise Bike (Student Rep), Ellen McLean (Executive Director), Richard Martielli (President), and Liz Grodsky (Federal Advocacy Coordinator).  We made Hill visits on Tuesday, March 13th.  The 3 issues covered were:

• Replacing the SGR with a system that values cost-efficient psychological services. 
• Adding psychologists to the Medicare “physician” definition
• Making psychologists eligible for the HITECH Act incentives.

We met with staffers from the offices of Sen. McCaskill, Sen. Blunt, Rep. Long, Rep. Clay and Rep. Emerson.
