Reminder! Support Needed for PAs!

Reminder that we still need YOUR help! Please share our physician letter of support with your supervising physician or any colleagues you have to support SB100! SB100 allows PAs to be designated as primary care providers (PCPs) with Medicaid. This commonsense solution allows for better transparency, expanded access to care, and eliminates delays of care which arise when patients need timely orders signed by a PCP.

To add a physician's name for support, please send them the support letter (also attached) and ask if they are willing to sign on. If so, please email president@arkansaspa.org or text Aaron at 501-650-5793. No digital signatures needed! We expect a hearing on this bill within the next week. Please contact Aaron with any questions you have!

Also great news, SB101 to join the licensure compact has passed both the Senate and the House! It is now onto the Governor's desk where we expect it to be signed into law. We would love for SB99 and SB100 to smoothly pass as well, so please give your support in this endeavor!
