Hello to all Listserv members:
As we all know, Medicare Region C is killing all P&O facilities with denials and documentation requests.
Is anyone out there interested in starting a “grass-roots” effort to address these issues with our local offices? Does anyone have any suggestions what organization we can approach regarding these issues and if any of our Boards or Associations are assisting with these types of efforts? It seems this these concerns are constantly voiced, but never addressed.
We need to voice our opinions and concerns as practitioners and business owners and a unified effort from everyone (Not only Region C) is required to make these changes.
While I have little time as it is (as do most of you reading this) , I feel that these issues impact our practices and our profession and need to be addressed. I will be contacting my local office as well as getting contacts for other Medicare Regions should anyone else be interested. I have also heard that representative from the various regions will be available at the AOPA meeting in September – this would be a great arena to introduce a proposal for changes to the current provider status for DMEPOS!!!
Please contact me should you wish to discuss this further.
Thanks
