Health Care

Beaverton, Ore.-- Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) is sponsoring a health care information session for small business owners and their staff who have questions about the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The event will take place on Monday, September 16, 2013, from 8:30am to 10:00am at the Beaverton Community Center, 12350 SW 5th Street, Suite 100 in Beaverton, Oregon.

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) today introduced the Protecting Access to Primary Care Act (H.R. 2986) to improve access to primary care for individuals enrolled in Medicaid. The bill will improve reimbursement rates for nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other primary health care providers. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) presently provides improved reimbursement rates for physicians, but does not similarly increase reimbursement rates for other primary care providers like nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
