It is time to stand-up for our industry. Home Medical Equipment providers are making
their voices heard to support HR 3790, the bill to repeal the DMEPOS bidding program.

If competitive bidding proceeds

• 90% of area Medicare providers will lose the ability to serve beneficiaries
• Hundreds of businesses will close, thousands more Californians will be unemployed
• Round 1 reimbursement cuts of over 30% can be implemented throughout California
• California insurance companies will replicate Medicare Cuts
• Most importantly, quality products and timely services will no longer exist

There will be information distributed, presentations, and lessons on how to engage
legislators for the benefit of all DME providers in California.

Presentations include:

Inside the PAOC - Learn what has occurred at recent Program Advisory and Oversight
Committee meetings and discuss what will be raised at the upcoming, Feb 23rd meeting.
By Esta Willman, who represents CAMPS and California providers on the PAOC.

David and Goliath - How Small Providers Can Take on CMS and Win. By Rob Brant,
President of the Accredited Medical Equipment Providers of America, the initiators of
HR-3790 and the Bill's leading proponent and spokesman.
