WASHINGTON – The National Coalition for Assistive Rehab Technology (NCART) the International Registry of Rehabilitation Technology Suppliers (iNRRTS) and U.S. Rehab are asking industry stakeholders to send brief, pre-written emails to their legislators asking them to attend the upcoming Complex Rehab Technology (CRT) Product Expo in Washington, D.C., on May 13. Using NCART’s VoterVoice platform, the organizations say the process is quick and straightforward, requiring stakeholders to simply enter their names and click send. “Lawmakers consistently tell us that hearing from their constituents makes a real difference,” said Wayne Grau, NCART executive director. “Our Congressional Product Expo is a vital way we can educate members of Congress about the importance and value of CRT equipment as well as urge them to support critical CRT priorities that will help remove barriers and improve day-to-day life for people who rely on CRT equipment for mobility and independence.” The product expo will focus on key legislation and policy issues that would protect access to CRT and ensure individuals receive the clinically appropriate equipment they need to live independently and safely. These include removing barriers to carbon fiber and titanium manual wheelchairs, eliminating prior authorization for repairs for Medicare Advantage and Medicaid Advantage beneficiaries, and establishing Medicare coverage for power standing systems.
