May 16, 2018 CRT Advocates, As we told you last week, Representatives Bob Latta (R-OH) and Bill Johnson (R-OH) are circulating a House of Representatives letter that will be sent to CMS Administrator Verma to protect access to Complex Rehab Technology (CRT). The letter formally informs CMS that Congress did not intend for DME Competitive Bid payment rates to be applied to CRT items as part of the 21st Century Cures Act legislation. Our task is to strengthen their message by getting additional Representatives to sign-on to the letter. We have until noon next Friday, May 25th to get those signatures and need your help. Here's what you can do: Click here to send an email to your Representative asking them to follow the instructions included to add their signature and help protect access to CRT. All you need to do is enter your information and click send. A copy of the instruction letter and the text of the letter to CMS can be found here. Your prompt attention is appreciated. Please let us know when you secure your Member's signature so we can continue to monitor progress! Regards, Don Donald E.
