WASHINGTON – AAHomecare’s Medical Supplies Council has launched a nationwide Market Impact Survey to assess the ongoing effects of reimbursement levels, supply chain volatility, product and operational costs, and staffing pressures across a variety of disposable supplies as well as CGMs and insulin infusion pumps.
Product categories included in survey
- Ostomy supplies
- Urological supplies
- Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs)
- Insulin infusion pumps
- Incontinence supplies
- Woundcare supplies
- Enteral nutrition
All HME suppliers who provide any of the included products are encouraged to take the survey here. Insights gathered from the 2026 survey will be critical in advocacy efforts for Competitive Bidding, state Medicaid discussions, and payer education to help quantify the growing gap between reimbursement and the cost of providing care. All information gathered will be confidential and will only be reflected in aggregate data.
“We are very excited about this project,” said Laura Berry of Soundview Medical Supply and chair of the Medical Supplies Council. “As an industry, our medical supply products are facing more challenges than ever. It is critical that we have up-to-date information to share with decision-makers to help protect reimbursement, our companies, and our continued ability to serve our customers.”
Deadline to take the survey is March 13. Take the survey here. For questions about the survey initiative, contact Stephanie at stephaniel@aahomecare.org.
