 From National ACEP
A message from ACEP’s President, Dr. Becky Parker: Please share our video and help it go viral!
Many of you have probably seen the multi-million dollar ad campaign Cigna Insurance is airing using “TV doctors.” ACEP has produced a parody version of that ad starring ACEP members to drive home the message that emergency physicians provide real, life-saving care for their patients – unlike insurance companies. This is another weapon in our ongoing Fair Coverage campaign aimed at the insurance industry and its ever-shrinking reimbursements for emergency care. For more information, visit www.faircoverage.org. Check out the video!
FACEP Means More. Are You Eligible for Fellow Status?
Minimum requirements include three years of continuous ACEP membership to earn the prestigious Fellow designation. Are you FACEP eligible? Find out, and apply today. ACEP has extended the deadline for fall applications to December 15. Apply here.
