Over 40% of traditional companies that provided essential home medical equipment (HME), services, and supplies are no longer serving Medicare beneficiaries today compared to July 2013 according to research evaluating Medicare data.
The Medicare funding shortage is causing company changes and creating problems for patients with their expenses increasing and challenges accessing equipment rising. The impact is staggering.
Members of Congress share our concern and are petitioning the Administration for relief. A sign-on letter with 154 signatures has been delivered, asking HHS Secretary Price and CMS Administrator Seema Verma to make important regulatory changes to protect the HME benefit.
Send an e-mail to your Member of Congress thanking them for signing the letter!
