As Congress prepares to return after the election, momentum has been building for legislators to address Medicare’s broken home infusion benefit as part of a year-end legislative package. After considerable engagement from NHIA with key staff on Capitol Hill, along with a series of pivotal hearings in the House Ways & Means and House Energy & Commerce Committees, the groundwork has been laid for Congress to pass the Preserving Patient Access to Home Infusion Act (H.R. 4104; S. 1976) and enhance access to home infusion services for Medicare beneficiaries nationwide.
We urge all NHIA members take action by contacting their Members of Congress and urging them to support policies that promote access to home infusion therapy within the Medicare program. To facilitate your outreach, we have drafted a sample letter to communicate the need for action to your Representatives and Senators. Please customize the sample letter below, or craft your own message to share a personal story about the importance of home infusion services for America's seniors. Your advocacy is critical in advancing this important cause and ensuring that patients receive the care they deserve.
