Plan better, wouldn’t have that issue if you played in a dome and stopped using the elements to affect incoming teams. Y’all should forfeit due to inability to execute game as planned just like the Bucs should’ve. You chose the location deal with the consequences. Lol

H.R. 6641 would ensure fair #Medicare reimbursement rates for #HME. Check to see if your representative previously asked CMS to work towards this goal -- if they have not yet sponsored H.R. 6641, urge them to do so today! buff.ly/3CSccwk

For the rest of his career, Will Smith’s Oscar win will be associated with this moment. That he wasn’t escorted out by security, is a reminder of two America’s. That if you are rich & famous, rules are different. That he sat back in his seat proves that Will also knows that…

.@aahomecare VP Jay Witter gets it right. It's critical that #HME stakeholders continue to reach out to their representatives and fight for fair reimbursement rates! We've had great success so far -- it's time to keep pushing! buff.ly/3w8q7cG

It's thanks to the efforts of #HME stakeholders across the country that so many members have taken an interest in the issue -- and that we're in a great position! Now OMB just needs to finish the rule.
Huge thanks once again to all of the #HME stakeholders who came out to our Virtual Legislative Conference! Your efforts are what garnered so much congressional support for the DME rule now in the midst of its final regulatory review. hme-business.com/articles/20…

Great to see the conversation surrounding the #HME #supplychaincrisis getting so much attention. A big thank you to @nwi! "Medical device manufacturers should not be losing bidding wars over scarce electronic components to non-healthcare providers." buff.ly/3vfV5zf

Thank you @cathymcmorris for speaking up for #HME providers! "Access to durable medical equipment is fundamental but this equipment cannot save lives if it isn't available to those who need it most...We have a lot of work ahead of us." buff.ly/2YvpM7E

Check out my piece in @HME_News! "Medicare reimbursement rates–and, in many cases, other rates they influence across the payer spectrum–don't reflect the market reality our industry faces." Lawmakers must recognize the value of #HME and raise reimbursement!buff.ly/3owGqhP

Glad to see @CMSgov "will implement various policy flexibilities to ensure residents in Louisiana and Mississippi hit by Hurricane Ida will have healthcare access, including #DME." bitly.com/3nf7mBY+

The delta variant has exacerbated a shortage of chips needed for home medical equipment -- this is another reason why lawmakers must raise Medicare reimbursement for homecare providers! They need to be able to compete for supplies on a global scale. buff.ly/3ju7v2l

“Legislators & policy makers need to understand that, while other industries can pass this on to consumers, as providers, you really can’t recoup those costs due to fixed fee schedules,” says @SNJohnsonDC of the need to increase reimbursement.

From Portland to Atlanta, CEO @TomRyanHME's @IBTimes oped keeps making waves! #HME providers "saved thousands and improved millions of lives...providers must be paid commensurate with the value they deliver for their patients." Thanks for spreading the word @AtlantaInquirer!

Thanks to @VirginiaNewsNetwork for having me on to discuss the threats facing #HME providers. "The future of homecare is at risk because we are not putting enough dollars in that area of care where patients prefer to be, particularly...in the home medical equipment industry."

Great read today in @statnews from @AAHomecare's own @jxram on the importance of protecting #HME providers. "Medicare’s low payment rates continue to drive out of business the companies that make aging in place possible." buff.ly/3qH1qkY
