Private Payer Advocacy

Advocacy in action

AOA works to reduce administrative burden and protect patient care

The AOA advocates with private payers to decrease administrative burden for physicians, streamline payment of claims and improve outcomes for patients. Working on behalf of the nation’s 197,000+ DOs and medical students, the AOA physician services team engages with health care payers when policies delay or deny patient care, create added administrative work or otherwise hinder efficient health care delivery.

If you are an AOA member in need of assistance, contact our Physician Services team by email or call (312) 202-8194. If your AOA membership is not current and you wish to take advantage of this and all other AOA member benefits, you may join or renew your membership online.
