Attached is a note that describes actions you can take tomorrow (April 22) that will affect your ability to refer complex rehab medical equipment to competent suppliers. Omit steps 1 and 2....start with step 3! One phone call and one web visit......maybe five minutes of your time. Please call your Congressional Senators and Representatives IMMEDIATELY and request that they support bill HR2231 which exempts Complex Rehab from competive bidding. Kansas & Missouri congressional contact information is also attached. For those residing or working in Kansas, Senator Roberts is key! If your focus is pediatrics, this bill will affect you also. It is only a matter of time before these Medicare regs make it to commercial insurers and Medicaid! Thanks.
