Advocacy helps legislators understand the challenges you face, allowing you to work together for a solution. It also allows you to make informed decisions for your company. Don’t miss this once a year opportunity to advocate for your business and patients with colleagues across the nation for a broader impact. The HME industry has been reduced by more than 40% since Congress implemented the competitive bidding program, which focuses on price rather than service. We continue to seek fair reimbursement and policies that are more favorable to the HME community and the patients we serve. It is critical that all HME stakeholders be represented at the 2022 Virtual Washington Legislative Conference!

AAHomecare is partnering with Advocacy Associates to deliver a seamless virtual meeting platform that will schedule your meetings, provide background on each of the legislators you will be meeting with, and allow you and your fellow HME leaders to connect directly with Members of Congress and key legislative staffers.
