WASHINGTON (Nov. 15, 2013)—Congressional briefings on the bidding program will take place on Monday, Nov. 18. All Senate members and House Ways & Means and Energy & Commerce members have been invited. Because the briefings are not open to the public, AAHomecare staff and members will be unable to attend. This makes it imperative that every possible congressional office sends a staffer to the briefings to ask CMS tough questions that show the agency that Congress is paying attention to their mismanagement of the bidding program.

Call or email your Representative and Senators today! Be sure to get a commitment from them to attend and to report back to you with results from the briefing. Although the time and location have been sent directly to all congressional offices, if anyone asks you for that information, please have them contact AAHomecare's Jay Witter at 202-372-0749 or jayw@aahomecare.org.
