The two Co-Chairs of the House Bipartisan Disabilities Caucus, Reps Debbie Dingell (D-MI) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), led a Congressional sign-on letter to the CMS Administrator urging the agency to open the National Coverage Analysis for coverage of standing systems in power wheelchairs that has now been pending before CMS for over four years. The letter follows-up from the June 2023 letter that was submitted to CMS. The new letter expresses Congress’ gratitude for the recent decision to cover seat elevation systems in power wheelchairs but stresses their continued concern that CMS has not yet initiated the NCA for standing systems in these same wheelchairs and urges them to do so as soon as possible. You can view the letter here: https://lnkd.in/eG7hVggU Learn more in the ITEM Coalition Press Release here: https://lnkd.in/e484bFcx The absence of Medicare coverage for standing systems leaves many beneficiaries who use power wheelchairs without access to critical technology that can significantly improve their health outcomes, functional abilities, and quality of life. #CRTadvocacy #ITEMCoalition #Advocacy

Following devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, many providers are caring for patients while also meeting the needs of employees impacted by the storm as well as businesses destroyed. Casey Hite, CEO of Aeroflow Health and AAHomecare Silver Corporate Partner, told HME News, “The situation in our community is truly heartbreaking, and we’re still coming to grips with the scale of the devastation. Many residents remain without power or water, and neighborhoods have a haunting sense of desolation.” He confirmed all of their team members are safe. “Additionally, we’ve gone the extra mile to locate and secure housing for employees who were drastically impacted. We want to take the burden off of them, so we are providing housing, meals and transportation for those individuals at no cost.” Hite goes on to say, “Our teams swiftly identified critical shortages and mobilized to take action. We were proud to provide manual Haakaa breast pumps to pumping mothers who lost power, ensuring they had the necessary tools to care for their little ones. Additionally, we donated incontinence supplies to nursing homes and community resource centers that were running low, and we extended our support to local fire departments and organized relief efforts, acknowledging their vital role in our community during this crisis.” Read the full Q&A here: https://lnkd.in/ebyW4rZE
