Contact Congress to Urge Due Process Rights for Emergency Physicians

H.R. 6910, critical bipartisan legislation to ensure every emergency physician has medical staff due process rights, was recently introduced by emergency physician and member of Congress, Rep. Raul Ruiz, MD (D-CA), and Rep. Roger Marshall, MD (R-KS). The legislation would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue regulations that would provide due process rights for physicians providing emergency medical services.

ACEP worked closely with the sponsor representatives' offices on developing legislation on this important issue for ACEP members. Now we need you to reach out to your own members of Congress to urge their support!
