Subject: We need your help!
We have one final chance to stop cuts to payment rates
A couple minutes can help us stop payment cuts
CMS has doubled down on proposed payment rate cuts. Thank you for your help sending messages to Congress before the Final Rule was released, but now more than ever we need congressional intervention to stop these cuts before the end of the year.
In a final push and in partnership with NAHC, we’re asking you to make a couple quick phone calls to congressional offices to show your support for the Preserving Access to Home Health bill. Please note: The authors will be bringing an amendment to the negotiations to shorten the pause period and increase transparency from CMS.
Don’t worry, it’s super easy! You’ll speak to a receptionist, and they won’t ask you to provide details. All you have to do is call your assigned Senator and Representatives and follow the scripts below.
Thank you for standing by MHCA with your advocacy in this crucial time. With enough voices being raised, we’re hoping to make a stand and put a stop to these harmful cuts! Make your three calls today!
