TALKING POINTS: Join the Conversation by Contacting Your Legislators
 Today we begin blazing a trail that will leave our footprints in Case Management history. Please send this information to your Congressmen or call/talk with them directly while they are in their state office. Case Managers need to have a unified voice and participate in healthcare reform. We are not seeking sponsorship for the Case Management Model Act. We are recommending our legislators insert our industry language for consistency of services and programs for any legislation they may propose. As case managers you have PASSION and commitment for your practice. Share this information with those who will be working on bills and regulatory statutes that effect us and those for whom we care.
