Meaningful Adjustments to Medicare Reimbursement Top Priority for Legislative Conference

3 Weeks Left to Register for AAHomecare's Virtual Event!

Important message from the American Association for Homecare:

Register now to help us secure the best possible slate of meetings for you!

On September 20, AAHomecare will once again host the Virtual Washington Legislative Conference, giving HME stakeholders the opportunity to speak with legislators about pressing issues for the homecare community. Will you add your voice in support of HME policy priorities? 

We need more HME advocates to answer the call this year to build support for S. 1294 to further extend non-CBA/non-rural relief, to advocate for boosting rates in former CBAs, and to ensure that any new competitive bidding rounds will include hard-won improvements to the process our industry has fought for.  

Virtual Advocacy: Effective and Efficient

In just a couple hours’ time - from the comfort of your office - you can meet with Senators, Representatives, and staff to give a first-hand account of the challenges you face, and what your company needs to ensure a high standard of care for the communities you serve.  The virtual meeting format eliminates the travel, keeps the face-to-face impact needed for a strong advocacy impression, and allows us to connect more HME veterans and new industry advocates with Capitol Hill.

Meetings with members of Congress will take place through Zoom conference lines from 9:00am to 5:00 pm ET on September 20. One week prior to the meetings, on September 11, AAHomecare will host a one-hour advocacy event online offering issue education, training on tracking your meetings and logging in via Zoom, and guidance on how to ensure your message gets through to legislators and staff. Last year’s virtual advocacy played a critical role in securing important policy wins.  

Register Now: Registration Closes September 6

AAHomecare's partners at Advocacy Associates are beginning to make meeting requests. Please register as soon as possible so we can secure you the best slate of meetings on September 20 and bring home more bottom-line policy gains for HME!
