WASHINGTON, D.C. (February 24, 2022)—Building support for H.R. 6641, the DMEPOS Relief Act of 2022, remains a top priority for the American Association for Homecare (AAHomecare) and other home medical equipment (HME) stakeholder groups.
The House of Representatives will reconvene next week after an extended work period and will be in session for five out of the next six weeks before taking a two-week break in mid-April. This will be a critical period for building cosponsor support for H.R. 6641 and raising the legislation’s profile with House leadership and members on key committees of jurisdiction.
If you are represented by a legislator on the House Energy & Commerce or Ways & Means committees, your outreach is especially needed.
A brief, personally drafted e-mail to your representative’s staffer who deals with health care issues is the most effective initial step you can take in this process.
See AAHomecare’s Campaign Central page for resources and messaging to help in this effort.
You can also send send a pre-drafted message through the association’s Action Center.
This legislation helps to bring Medicare reimbursements rates closer in line with the market realities facing the HME industry.
