AAH to HHS: Include HME in Medicaid relief

WASHINGTON - AAHomecare has asked the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services to include HME suppliers in any future rounds of relief for providers who bill Medicaid. In a letter to HHS Deputy Secretary Eric Hargan, the association states: “There are many HME suppliers who do not participate in Medicare but do serve a substantial number of Medicaid beneficiaries; these suppliers did not receive any of the Medicare-based relief from the initial disbursement of CARES Act funds. We believe that any additional allocation that focuses on Medicaid providers should take into account HME suppliers.” AAHomecare will continue to monitor provider relief efforts to ensure that any future disbursements include HME suppliers.
