WATERLOO, Iowa – VGM Government Relations hosted the leaders of state and regional HME associations at its headquarters here last week. Leaders discussed their priorities for 2023, as well as how to improve their associations. Also part of the meeting: a conference call with Tangita Daramola, CMS’s competitive acquisition ombudsman, and John Hannigan, CMS regional administrator, as well as representatives from regional offices. Each leader was given a few minutes to introduce themselves and discuss the concerns of their members. Another topic of discussion was the need for reimbursement relief to be included in end-of-year legislation. The industry has an active bill in the House of Representatives, H.R. 6641, which would extend a 90/10 blended reimbursement rate that’s currently in place for competitive bidding items in competitive bidding areas.
