How to Call Your Legislators

Talking to your legislator is key to making a difference. You need to however be sure to be prepared before your call to make it the most effective. To prepare:

Make a list of the key points you wish to make during your call.
- If you are going to discuss that EMG is the practice of medicine use these EMG Talking Points.
- If you are going to discuss the impact of the CMS cuts use the Cuts Talking Points.
- Consider including information from the AANEM’s Impact Statement on Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy, which shows the costs of not getting the correct diagnosis.
Review your facts, including any available resource materials.

Guidelines for calling your legislators are included on page six in the Legislative Advocacy Guide.
