Guarding Hearts Alliance

This partnership represents more than 23,000 cardiologists across the country, all of whom are strongly in favor of Medicare regulations and health care reform initiatives that put patients first in preserving access to quality cardiac care. Administered through the Cardiology Advocacy Alliance, this group is vitally concerned about potential changes that could inadvertently endanger patient lives. Issues such as imaging equipment utilization rates and reimbursement fee schedules might sound like they would generate simple shifts in business practices, but they represent a real threat – restricting access to lifesaving technology that serves the range of rural Medicare recipients to privately insured urban residents alike.

Guarding Hearts Alliance is on a quest to educate cardiac patients and those who may someday need high-quality cardiac care about the facts of health care reform and Medicare regulations, as proposed changes could affect access to lifesaving cardiac services. Guarding Hearts Alliance cardiologists want to be able to use the right tools at the right time to make the right diagnoses for their patients and thus continue to make advances in the fight against cardiovascular disease, America’s Number One killer.
