So proud to be a member of an Association that does what they promise and gets things done for the enhancement of healthcare. Hat's off to American Association for Homecare for meeting with HHS Administrator Dr. Oz to improve home health access and care for Medicare/Medicaid patients across the U.S.

This week Tom Ryan, Jay Witter, Josh Marx, David Siegel, and Cara Bachenheimer had a productive meeting with CMS Administrator Dr. Oz and CMS Deputy Administrator Kim Brandt to discuss critical issues impacting patients and providers. Conversations included exploring adjustments to the Competitive Bidding Program that could enhance competitiveness and create a more balanced marketplace, asking CMS to provide clarification around the moratorium so that responsible suppliers can continue growth and expansion to meet patient needs, and partnering on fraud and prevention by offering to collaborate with the administration on enhanced tools and strategies to identify and discourage fraudulent behavior.

Dr. Oz was engaging and welcomed input from the industry. AAHomecare and stakeholders shared real world implications, data, and stories from the industry contributing to a positive meeting overall.

Advocacy continues, and we remain committed to working with policymakers, partners, and stakeholders to advance solutions that put patients first.
