🏠💻 Support Telehealth Pulmonary Rehab for Medicare Beneficiaries!
H.R. 783 / S. 248 would permanently allow cardiac and pulmonary rehab services to be provided via telehealth at home under Medicare. Virtual rehab improves adherence, enables earlier intervention, and removes barriers like distance and transportation—especially in rural areas.

Ask Congress to co-sponsor the Sustainable Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Services in the Home Act and help patients access the care they need.

🚨 Support Supplemental Oxygen Reform! 🚨

More than 1.5 million Americans struggle to access the oxygen they need to survive. These barriers are caused by outdated Medicare reimbursement and limited access to respiratory therapists’ expertise.

The SOAR Act (Supplemental Oxygen Access Reform) aims to fix this by:
1️⃣ Making supplemental oxygen patient-centric
2️⃣ Ensuring access to liquid oxygen when medically necessary
3️⃣ Providing adequate reimbursement for respiratory therapists
4️⃣ Establishing standardized documentation for predictable and fair claims

Legislation has been introduced in both the House and Senate, but Congress needs to hear from YOU. Take action today and urge your Representatives and Senators to pass the SOAR Act to improve care for oxygen-dependent patients.
