AHA Advocacy Alliances were created to help you engage your legislators on specific issues that have a direct impact on your ability to continue providing quality health care services in your community. 

 Alliance members receive periodic updates on the latest news to keep members up to date on key developments and resources from AHA, along with invitations to special alliance activities, including special briefing calls, breakout sessions at AHA Advocacy Days, prompts for direct outreach to members of Congress and other issue-specific information.

If you have questions about these programs, please contact [email protected].

340B Advocacy Alliance

The AHA Advocacy Alliance for the 340B Program focuses primarily on promoting the value that the 340B drug pricing program provides to hospitals, patients and communities, as well as preventing attempts to scale back this program.

Rural Hospital Advocacy Alliance

Building on the AHA's extensive work on behalf of hospitals supporting small and rural communities, this alliance focuses on extending key Medicare provisions that would otherwise sunset, including the low-volume hospital payment adjustment, the Medicare-dependent Hospital Program, Section 508 reclassifications and outpatient hold-harmless payments to rural Sole Community Hospitals (SCHs). In addition, the alliance works to protect and advance Critical Access Hospitals, SCHs, Rural Emergency Hospitals and other important rural hospital and health service designations.

Site-neutral Advocacy Alliance

The Site-neutral Advocacy Alliance focuses on ensuring adequate payment for the higher level of care capability that hospitals provide in the outpatient setting and for post-acute care providers. It also monitors payment reduction proposals for other care sites.
