@BuffaloBills 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

Join our interactive panel of AAHomecare policy experts for a lively discussion on legislative priorities, regulatory opportunities, and payer relations initiatives at the AAHomecare Update at Medtrade on October 25.

Special thanks to our sponsor for coffee - @Medline!

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! https://t.co/4LL7vSD1OG

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…

[Thomas Ryan @TomRyanHME]

.@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! https://t.co/mx0gjEFbdH

[Thomas Ryan @TomRyanHME]

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.

[Thomas Ryan @TomRyanHME]

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." https://t.co/sCjEQQekPa

[Thomas Ryan @TomRyanHME]

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." https://t.co/BFqJsqobSN

[Thomas Ryan @TomRyanHME]

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!https://t.co/jom0Ytch3v

[Thomas Ryan @TomRyanHME]

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." https://t.co/ICzWgLNG3F

[AAHomecare @aahomecare]

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. https://t.co/UC5aRtmGBz

[Liz Beaulieu @hmeliz]

“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.

[Thomas Ryan @TomRyanHME]

I'm proud to advocate for the #homecare providers who ease the burden on hospitals and help keep patients safe during the pandemic. Join us in our fight to protect providers at our Virtual Legislative Conference September 9th! https://t.co/LGAl187rFh

[AAHomecare @aahomecare]

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!

[Thomas Ryan @TomRyanHME]

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."

[Thomas Ryan @TomRyanHME]

If you're at #MedtradeWest, don't forget to join me, Jay Witter, @kimb_aa, and @WilliardLaura for the @AAHomecare update panel tomorrow at 8:30 am!

[Thomas Ryan @TomRyanHME]

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." https://t.co/8edwQr6f4C

[AAHomecare @aahomecare]

CMS Proposes Changes to Oxygen NCD to Expand Coverage and Reduce Provider Burden - https://t.co/rGGOtcFNoT

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
