CRT Stakeholders, Great news from Congress for people with disabilities who
rely on Complex Rehab Technology! CRT Champions Representatives Jim
Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and Joe Crowley (D-NY) have joined together to reintroduce
the "Ensuring Access to Quality Complex Rehabilitation Technology Act of 2017"
in the House of Representatives. The new bill number is H.R. 750.
In his announcement (see here), Representative Sensenbrenner stated "As a
leader in the fight for the rights of the disabled, I want to ensure all
Americans have access to the tools needed to live each day to the fullest.
Disabled Americans should not be denied rehabilitation or medical equipment
that can enable them to live and work freely and independently."
Representative Crowley said in his announcement (see here), "This legislation
would guarantee that patients have access to the high-quality products and
services they need to lead a more independent life. For those with disabilities
and other medical conditions, these complex rehabilitation technology products
are necessities."
The CRT Community is very thankful to Representatives Sensenbrenner and Crowley
for their continued leadership in protecting access for people with
disabilities. This legislation finished last year with strong bipartisan
support with 173 Representatives and 20 Senators signed on. We will be
updating our websites and supporting materials to assist Stakeholders in
reconnecting with their Members of Congress to re-sign past cosponsors or
secure new cosponsors in this Congressional session.
On another important front, work is underway to reintroduce legislation in
Congress to provide a permanent stop to the application of Medicare Competitive
Bid pricing to CRT Wheelchair Accessories. This bill is expected to be
reintroduced as we move into February. Thanks for your continued support! Stay
tuned for more details. |
