As discussed during the RCPA Brain Injury (BI) Committee meeting held on December 5, 2024, a meeting has been scheduled with Representative Tim Briggs and Representative Ann Flood on January 13, 2025, at 11:00 am. Briggs and Flood are two of the co-chairs of Pennsylvania’s Brain Injury Caucus. An invitation was also extended to Senator Tim Kearney, another co-chair of the BI Caucus.
The primary goal for this meeting is for the BI providers and members of the BI Caucus to work in conjunction with one another. Specifically:
- BI Caucus members will be able to hear the concerns from the BI Providers, including budget requests and access to care issues that are resulting from inadequate rates/rate increases;
- BI providers will provide input to BI Caucus leaders on a legislative plan for the upcoming budget, such as amendments to the Safety in Youth Sports Act;
- BI Caucus leaders will share input on how to work with legislators to achieve a common goal; and
- Will share feedback on other issues impacting BI providers.
Members must register by sending an email to Melissa Dehoff by January 6, 2025. Registrants will receive the call information a few days prior to the scheduled call.
