H.R. 6331, the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008, passed the House of Representatives by a veto-proof
margin of 355 to 59.
I want to thank N.A.M.E.S., PAMS, AAHomecare & everyone involved for
their countless efforts that helped support in favor of the H.R. 6331 Bill.
Competitive Bidding for durable
medical equipment is officially on hold!
I want to also thank Congressman, Patrick J. Murphy serving Pennsylvania's
8th District for his support.
The Senate is now working on the Medicare package. Call your Senators and tell
them the homecare community strongly opposes ANY additional cuts to home medical equipment such as oxygen and power wheelchairs.
