U.S. Representatives Neal Dunn (FL) and Greg Murphy (NC), both urologists, are circulating a U.S. House Congressional Sign-On Letter to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) urging the agency not to move forward with the proposed expansion of the DMEPOS Competitive Bidding Program to include ostomy and urological supplies. They need their colleagues in the House from both parties to sign this letter for the greatest impact.



CMS will be issuing their "final rule" in November, so patient participation in this advocacy effort is timely and critically important.



We are calling on all advocates NOW to contact their U.S. House representatives to request and urge them to sign this bipartisan letter before the deadline of October 3rd!

This is sooooooo important! Back when I was going through my surgeries I struggled finding supplies and was lost. I never had enough! That was 15 years ago. Let's help others and ourselves to not have to go through this!

Much love - Cristine 💞💕

Make your voice heard today. It only takes a few minutes of your time. You can take action on our current advocacy priorities that can make a huge difference in the lives of those with ostomies or continent diversions.
