Capitol Hill Advocacy Day is a focused, invitation only two-day advocacy event. Each year, UCA strategically invites association members as delegates to Washington, D.C. to receive legislative briefings, and meet directly with members of Congress and Senate staff, ensuring Urgent Care’s priorities are heard, understood, and advanced by the policymakers shaping the future of healthcare
Better reimbursement for Urgent Care is UCA’s #1 priority.

Nineteen Urgent Care leaders, alongside corporate partners Solv and Abbott, conducted 39 meetings with congressional offices on Capitol Hill.
Discussions focused on healthcare affordability, access (particularly in rural communities) and ensuring patients receive care at the right site of service. A central message was that while Urgent Care lowers overall system costs and expands access, appropriate reimbursement is necessary to sustain that impact. Congressional offices engaged substantively on UCA’s proposed Enhanced Place of Service code and add-on G-code, including questions related to Medicare impact and cost savings. These discussions marked continued progress from awareness-building toward policy-level evaluation.
UCA’s advocacy work doesn’t stop when Capitol Hill Advocacy Day ends. Throughout the year, UCA tracks legislation, mobilizes members, and amplifies Urgent Care’s voice in policy conversations nationwide.
