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.
