Drive CBP Comments from End Users
Medicare’s proposed changes to the Competitive Bidding Program (CBP) will drastically limit access to HME, supplies, and services that end users rely on to safely manage their medical needs at home.
The Proposed Rule comment period is over, but you can still activate your community. AAHomecare’s CBP End User Action Toolkit gives you everything you need to help your customers understand what's at stake. Ask them to e-mail their elected officials, urging them to weigh in with CMS before the Final Rule is released.
