Iowa Society of Orthodontists
Many Iowa orthodontists attended the recent AAO Annual Session in Washington, D.C., with at least six Des Moines-area orthodontists on the same outbound flight. Drs. Mike Hipp, Jeremy Karras and Marc Welge, along with other orthodontists from around the country, spent Tuesday morning meeting with elected officials on Capitol Hill. Team Iowa met with the offices of Representatives Leonard Boswell and Tom Latham and Senators Tom Harkin and Chuck Grassley. After consulting with AAO lobbyists, they advocated on behalf of the association on two primary issues: raising the recently imposed cap on flexible spending accounts and excluding orthodontists from financial reform efforts, which could inadvertently regulate orthodontic payment plans. They were pleased that businesses like ours were excluded from pending financial reform legislation a few days later. The flexible spending limits may still be adjusted as the healthcare legislation undergoes further modification.
