As we continue into the new year, the headlines are coming at us fast and furious. The constant stream of information from Washington, D.C. can be overwhelming and often confusing. Topics such as tariffs, budgets, and DOGE dominate the news, making it feel like a game of "follow the bouncing ball." Amidst this incessant back and forth, it is easy to become desensitized to the continuous stream of changes. However, our VGM & Associates partners and the whole #DMEPOS industry must remain #focused on our priorities. We need to sift through the daily news to identify the items that will have the most significant impact on us. Staying vigilant and up to date is crucial. Here are some things we are working on... - DME Relief (75/25 blended rate) - we are lining up champions to move this forward! - Tariffs - VGM Group, Inc. has sent a letter to the administration asking that medical devices be exempt. - Custom Rehab Technology - Carbon Fiber/Titanium Upgrades (S.247/HR1703) giving people the freedom to choose their mobility! - HHS Rescinds policy on Public Participation in Rule Making - monitoring this closely as it reduces transparency in decision making and removes public comment periods. Stay tuned for updates and deeper dives on these and other policy issues impacting our DME Industry! We'll continue to travel around the country working with you to highlight the high-quality service you deliver in the home healthcare space. Want to host your legislator and/or their staff?
