In our monthly Web poll, we asked how much of providers' revenues would be affected should the federal budget bill — which includes a provision that would cap oxygen equipment rental at 36 months — gain approval, and you can see the results.
But most providers say reimbursement is the least of their worries with the bill's rental cap provision: They are more concerned about its effects on their patients.
For further information about the capped-rental proposal and the questions it raises, see “AAHomecare Update” on page 44. And to check on the outcome of Congress' final vote on the measure, which was scheduled for early February, view current and archived issues of HomeCare Monday, our weekly e-newsletter, at www.homecaremonday.com.
