REPEAL Competitive Bidding

The industry stopped competitive bidding, but it wasn’t eliminated.  It’s still there to come back again and it will return sooner than anyone could dream.

There are many reasons why competitive bidding as proposed by CMS is bad.  All you have to do is read the studies in the links below to see that competitive bidding for DME is not only wrong, but it is harmful to the very people that need the services of DME providers.

We must use the momentum of HR 6331 and the November election to raise the need to repeal this flawed program.

Only You Can Do It!

It is true that ONLY you can change the future.  Not by magic or by mystical powers, but by relationships; your relationship with your members of Congress.

YOU must get out of you chair and reach out to your Representative and Senators.  Remember the key, you know who your Congressman is, but does your Congressman know YOU?

Use the plan and concept of “Dig Your Well Before You’re Thirsty” to develop a relationship by getting involved.  The Representatives that are our champions didn’t just decide to be good to us, they support DME because a supplier reached out and built a relationship with them.

NOW, as for REPEAL of Competitive Bidding--

To accomplish this we must talk to our members of Congress and share the truth about the industry; the truth about fraud, the truth about what it takes to be a supplier, the truth about the value of homecare.

Use the tools on our website to educate them about who we really are and why we are a part of the solution, not the problem with healthcare.
