Dear colleagues and friends,
about 2 weeks ago, I emailed you regarding changes in Medicare coverage for speech generating devices (SGDs).
A
letter was sent to CMS last week dealing with some specific issues
regarding Medicare coverage of SGDs. It was meant to be signed by
organizations, not individuals. I've attached it (Medicare Coverage
reminder) as well so you can be aware of the procedures we have been
following.
I said that I would be asking you to sign on to a letter that I would be circulating. Well, here it is.
Attached
is a letter from USSAAC to CMS. We are circulating it for signatures.
Any/all
individuals/groups who wish to be included can sign on by clicking on the link you give them after they read the letter.
This letter is complement and a supplement to the letter sent last week on behalf
of several organizations, with
Medicare Implementation Team, USSAAC, ALSA, ASHA, among others, as signatories.
If you want to sign the letter, w
e need you to email us your Name, "Initials"/credentials, address and affiliation, if you are speaking as a
member of an organization i.e., for an organization.
Please respond by Friday May 23 (Sunday AT THE LATEST) by
clicking on the link below and putting you name, credentials (initials),
address, and affiliation (organization) in the email and send it to
xxxxxx@ussaac.org. The link will take you there.
name, initials, address, organization
Thank you for your participation. If you have any questions
or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly, either by email or
phone (see signature below). And for those of you who were on the Hill advocating for our pALS, thank you!!!
Lisa
