LAS VEGAS – Everyone knows by now that 10,000 baby boomers are retiring every day, and demand for home medical equipment (HME) and services grows every minute.
Legislators in Washington, DC, are concerned about costly Medicare claims, but HME products and services can actually lower Medicare costs. By keeping more people in their homes and away from pricey hospital stays, HME can serve as the antidote to spiraling Medicare expenditures.
Unfortunately, the government’s “competitive bidding” program is jeopardizing the service that seniors have come to expect. The American Association for Homecare (AAHomecare) has already received reports of thousands of delays, equipment shortages, and contractors refusing services in bid areas around the country.
Enhancing quality of life for retirees, the injured, and the disabled is the focus of the HME industry (also known as the durable medical equipment [DME] industry). Emerald Expositions invites the media to explore the many ways in which HME can help people live independent lives well into their golden years.
The media may also wish to chat with on-site representatives from AAHomecare, and reps from the VGM Group, a member service group that has documented the countless service disruptions caused by the government’s misguided competitive bidding program.
We all want our moms, dads, grandmothers and grandfathers to stay in their homes as long as they can. We want them to have access to excellent HME products and services. However, government policy is threatening this ideal. Medtrade Spring is the place to find hard-hitting news about the issues, products, and services that affect American seniors.
