75/25 Medicare Impact Survey

Published in Government Relations on July 08, 2024

AAHomecare

VGM is happy to support AAHomecare in collecting your stories. Finding an avenue for the 75/25 non-rural blended rate continues to be our number one priority. We need your stories to show congress the impact the reduced reimbursement has had on the industry and the people we serve.

As such, AAHomecare is spearheading a national initiative to measure the impact of the expired Medicare fee-for-service 75/25 blended rate for non-bid non-rural areas on the HME community and Medicare patients’ access to medically necessary equipment. 

All reporting will be in the aggregate; company responses will remain confidential.

Survey responses are due Friday, 7/19/24.
