VA: Coverage bill introduced!

We met with Senator Patricia Ticer’s office in December and she agreed to file the bill. A bill will was introduced in the state of Virginia for prosthetic coverage in 2007!! This is incredibly exciting.

This is in large part due to the work of the VA campaign committee. They reached out to legislators and made their voices heard. Their activism put prosthetic coverage on the policy agenda in VA. Great work!
