August Recess is Here
Visit Members of Congress at HOME

Now is a great time to meet with your Members of Congress while they are on Recess at home in Florida. We must continue to engage members of Congress on the need for long-term relief for rural and non-CB area providers as well as the additional "double dip" cuts to the Medicare fee schedule for stationary oxygen.

Legislators and Hill staffers are currently working to address these issues, and a bill could be dropped in September when Congress returns to work. Our task in August is to reach out to members via their district offices and take advantage of any opportunities to make the case on these issues via an individual meeting or at any public events.

AAHomecare encourages this type of message to convey:

We are anticipating legislation to provide relief for rural and other non-bidding area providers and patients who continue to be severely impacted by recent drastic Medicare reimbursement cuts, as well as addressing a misguided regulatory policy that reduces payments for stationary oxygen in rural areas to below competitive bidding pricing in many cases. When legislation is introduced this Fall, we ask that members of the House become original co-sponsors, and that Senators support efforts for similar relief in their chamber.

FAHCS along with VGM and AAHomecare can assist you in making these appointments. Please reach out for assistance! email:beth@fahcs.us.

AWP Bill WITHDRAWN!

Congratulations FAHCS members - Great work! A threat to Repeal AWP has subsided in the senate and the bill is withdrawn. Senator Rene Garcia (Republican-Hialeah) has filed an amendment to SB 2512 which would repeal the 'any willing provider law' for DME. The amendment was filed to a bill sponsored by Senator Denise Grimsley.

Members, you came together to make a huge difference in our industry!

About the association

This industry provides an essential service to its patients through quality products and professional service. However, as seen repeatedly in the press, our industry has often been tarnished by dishonest activity. The FAHCS, led by a board of industry experts, maintains a high standard of advocacy to correct and eliminate this dishonest activity. Established in January 2009, we fight to protect and preserve the integrity of our industry as providers. We are working with providers and government agencies to take the offensive against fraudulent practices. Our ultimate goal is to completely eradicate unfair practices from our industry.
