Regulatory Issues

AGA works with Congress, regulatory agencies and other health-care organizations to ensure GIs have the needed resources to take care of and concentrate on their patients. AGA advocates for members in all areas of practice including Medicare, coding, third party reimbursement, and health policy and regulation. We also work hard to ensure our members are educated and knowledgeable in these areas that directly relate to their practice of medicine.
