AAH forms Diabetes Council 

Tom RyanARLINGTON, Va. – AAHomecare will host the first meeting of its newly formed Diabetes Council in Arlington, Va., in October to bring together key leaders in the market. The association’s board of directors voted in July to establish the council, with Linda Langiotti of CCS Medical as chair and John Pryor of AdaptHealth as vice chair. “The AAHomecare team has established a successful model to deliver measurable results through our councils, and we are already familiar with the issues surrounding continuous glucose monitors and the diabetic market,” notes Tom Ryan, president. “Diabetes companies joining this council will find passionate support, devoted assets, clear goals and tangible results. We’re confident that there is a natural fit for this coalition within our framework.” The purpose of the meeting is to develop goals, including demonstrating the benefits of the DME channel for access and compliance to diabetes device therapy; ensuring distributors have a voice in policy making for coding and coverage criteria; developing strategy for continuing to treat patients on CGM therapy when the public health emergency ends; and addressing taxability of CGM devices on a state-by-state basis. The council will be comprised exclusively of AAHomecare Corporate Partners in the diabetes market. AAHomecare will assist with policy and commercial payer opportunities and provide guidance during meetings.
