About AAHomecare - Our Focus
Value Advancement Programs
To ensure that the HME Industry’s work in communities across America is understood and appreciated, AAHomecare is building out a library of resources to help the HME community share the Value of HME. AAHomecare has curated resources that highlight the major role providers and manufacturers play in ensuring high quality care. We highly encourage you to review the resources below and incorporate them into your discussions with payers and elected officials at the state and federal level to help tell the story of HME within the greater healthcare continuum:
- HME’s Impact in the Pandemic
- HME's Impact in the Pandemic PPT Deck (PDF's)
- A day without an HME (Published by McKesson)
- Non-invasive Ventilation at Home Improves Survival and Decreases Healthcare Utilization in Medicare Beneficiaries with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease with Chronic Respiratory Failure (Precision Health Study)
Through our HME Heroes program, AAHomecare and its members are capturing and evangelizing success stories of individual providers and health networks that have utilized HME services and products to reduce the cost of care and improve patients' lives. Tap into these stories to get ideas about how your organization can better communicate the powerful difference the HME community makes today!
Federal and State Legislative Activism
Leverage long-standing relationships with federal policy makers and influencers to direct national policies and guidelines that ensure the HME industry and its true value are represented properly as regulatory and legislative changes are considered. See some of our latest achievements on behalf of the HME community here.
Payment Reform Advocacy
Learn from AAHomecare leaders and members about federal, state, and local reimbursement initiatives that have emerged as the healthcare sector transitions to value-based care reimbursement models, from Competitive Bidding and the CURES Act to single-source contracts with state Medicaid and commercial payer organizations. AAHomecare continues to add resources dedicated to ensuring the HME community's interest are known and protected. Members of AAHomecare have access to information and the ability to be involved in the direction of policy discussions and strategy in many ways.
