Medtrade Spring Features ‘Command Center’ to Repeal Competitive Bidding

LAS VEGAS — Medtrade Spring attendees will be able to ask
their members of Congress to sign onto H.R. 1041, the House bill to
repeal national competitive
bidding, on the spot.

At the event, to be held April 14-16 at the Sands Expo and
Convention Center in Las Vegas, attendees can search for their U.S.
representative on the list located in the Expo registration area to
see if they have signed on to the bill. If not, then they can stop
by the H.R. 1041 “Command Center” in the American Association for
Homecare booth (2419) and send an email asking their representative
to support the repeal bill.

“There is no better time than now to become involved in the
grassroots effort to repeal competitive bidding, and our goal is to
have over 2,000 messages sent to Capitol Hill to support H.R. 1041
during Medtrade Spring,” according to Kevin Gaffney, show
director.

In addition to the email campaign, attendees can support
industry advocacy efforts at the AAHomecare Stand Up for Homecare
reception on April 12. The campaign delivers key HME messages
through the media and to every member of Congress. The fundraiser
will be held at Dal Toro Ristorante at The Palazzo from 5:30-7 p.m.
Tickets will be available at the door.
