MONTOUR FALLS, N.Y. – Quinlan’s Pharmacy in November hosted an event with Joe Sempolinksi, who is running to replace Rep. Tom Reed, R-N.Y., who is not seeking another term in 2022. John Quinlan and other stakeholders discussed their concerns, including the need to extend reimbursement for non-rural and rural areas, and to establish new rates for competitive bid areas due to increased costs of equipment, PPE, surcharges and labor. “I was very impressed with candidate Sempolinski and the two hours he took listening, asking questions, taking notes and trying to understand what is happening to health care access in his potential rural N.Y. district,” said John Gallagher, vice president of government relations for VGM Government Relations. The event was well attended by a diverse group of health care providers, including not only pharmacies and DME providers, but also hospital administrators and nursing agencies.
