Great oped in @statnews: Medicare "doesn’t cover wheelchairs equipped with [standing and seat elevation technology]...That’s short-sighted, given that these technologies can yield savings by helping people avoid costly health complications." @CMSGov #HME buff.ly/3qxIu8Y

We’re glad @AmericanAir has reversed this policy that severely limited wheelchair users ability to travel. So many advocates who worked to get this policy changed. It will be easier to fly once it’s safe to travel. #FlyingWhileDisabled npr.org/2020/11/23/938063066…

At some point, adjectives like exponentially, or overwhelming, or grateful aren't sufficient. They can't describe or define the power of a day like today... It's a feeling that I'm not sure everyone gets to feel, and the ones who do don't feel often. Goodnight. Thank you.

A lack of curative Medicaid pharmacy policy reform leaves PBMs in charge and leaves local providers & patients in the lurch @martyschladen dispatch.com/news/20191201/p… OPA continues to meet with health plans and state officials to fix this mess that started in 2016. ⌛️

It's National #SCI Awareness Month! A bus accident at the age of 18 left Madonna Long with a spinal cord injury. She uses an Edge 3 with #iLevel to engage with people in her role as a disability advocate. #QuantumRehab #LifeAtiLevel
