Situation
The ERISA Industry Committee (ERIC) was looking to generate grasstops support to end surprise medical billing, an issue affecting thousands of Marylanders, by pressuring Congressman Hoyer, the House Majority Leader, to call a bill addressing the issue to the House floor.
Strategy
Scarlet Oak Strategies implemented an August Congressional recess campaign building grasstops support from key stakeholders, generating dozens of emails, texts, official letters, phone calls, and principal intercepts.
Outcome
Hoyer agreed to allow the bill to be considered by the House in the fall.
