Abstract

Advocacy is a core mission of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI). SCAI advocates on behalf of interventional cardiologists and our patients. This document provides foundational information and a toolkit for grassroots advocacy by interventional cardiologists. The first half of the document summarizes how health care laws are made, how medical devices are approved, and how procedure reimbursement is determined. The second half of the document is a playbook of advocacy strategies: legislative advocacy, judicial advocacy, advocacy with regulators and payors, advocacy in the media, and participation in SCAI advocacy initiatives, such as the Government Relations Committee and SCAI Political Action Committee. Equipped with this toolbox, interventional cardiologists must increase our advocacy activities with government, payors, and industry.
