Even though the month of August is coming to a close, there is still time to reach out to your members of Congress while they are in their state/districts to hear from their constituent base. This August recess ends on September 10, and now is the perfect time to let your members of Congress know about the importance of having access to quality care and proper home medical equipment (HME) and supplies, as well as the importance of moving HME legislation forward through both levels of government so you can continue to access these necessary services.
Visit your federal and state legislators’ websites or call their offices to find out where and when they hold town halls or other local events.
Items you should discuss with your members of Congress
- Accessibility to quality services and products that you or your loved ones rely on every day
- The reimbursement rates for HME during the COVID-19 public health emergency remain in place after the PHE is over so that HME suppliers can continue serving you
- Home medical equipment suppliers be included in PPE and vaccine distribution
