Leading Advocacy Initiatives for the Homecare Community

AAHomecare has served the HME industry for nearly four decades, setting the stage for manufacturers and providers to join together with one voice to advocate for improved access to quality homecare products and services that support millions of Americans and their caregivers. The Association offers turn-key advocacy materials, research, and relationship-building advice to help members work with policymakers, regulators, payers, and other stakeholders to enact policies that support the growth and sustainability of the homecare industry. We are proud to serve as the leading voice for the home medical equipment industry across the country. See our latest achievements on behalf of the HME community here.

AAHomecare is leading the charge to secure meaningful relief for the HME community and bring tangible wins that impact your bottom line. From federal Congressional engagement to state policy efforts, AAHomecare is at the epicenter of Industry advocacy efforts, serving as a catalyst for positive change. Join our advocacy efforts as we build momentum to protect and enhance the HME benefit.

AAHomecare is actively engaged in payer advocacy initiatives at the state and federal level. Our payer relations team works with a variety of payers, legislators, and regulatory bodies to ensure that the payers’ policies and reimbursement preserve patient access and acknowledge the incredible role of the HME provider community in caring for individuals in a home-based setting.

AAHomecare has a seat at the table with leading regulatory bodies, representing HME interests on a variety of issues addressing future competitive bidding rounds, limiting overly burdensome authorization and audit practices, expanding coverage for medically necessary home medical equipment, and more. AAHomecare’s Regulatory Affairs team monitors, evaluates, and responds to the steady stream of new and updated rules, as well as other guidance, from CMS, HHS, and other Federal agencies, keeping members in the know of important developments.
