AAHomecare and VGM are looking for HME stakeholders to volunteer as primary contacts for specific members of the House and Senate.

I was saddened to hear about the death of Michael W. Hamilton who retired last month from his post as executive director of ADMEA.

As the HME community awaits the release of the Final Rule that could re-start the Competitive Bidding Program, AAHomecare continues to engage.

A visit from a member of Congress buoyed spirits, but Laurie Bachorek, director of Rehab at Baxter Management, is anxious about the return of competitive bidding.

AAHomecare is using this opportunity to continue making the case directly to leaders in the Administration and CMS.

For the first time, the essential role of HME in enabling care at home has been formerly recognized by a state government.
