AABH sees advocacy as dialogue the productive exchange of ideas and perspectives. Dialogue can be advanced in many settings. Dialogue takes place between AABH members and policymakers or other groups, as we work to promote policies that maintain and enhance the quality and accessibility of behavioral healthcare services.It is this kind of dialogue that has helped us move forward in the area of Medicare Policy. AABH has established a track record of working effectively with its affiliate organizations and Medicare fiscal intermediaries to break down barriers and misunderstandings concerning the Medicare Partial Hospitalization Program. Dialogue can also can take place within our membership as we exchange ideas and experiences that inform our individual advocacy efforts. On an ongoing basis, AABH promotes the value of ambulatory care to state officials and managed care organizations (MCOs). Collaborative work with sibling organizations is another key part of the AABH advocacy strategy. So please join us as we work together to advocate for the services we believe in and the clients who need them!
