Disaster Relief Medicaid Act This bill establishes a series of programs and requirements relating to Medicaid coverage of individuals affected by a federally declared major disaster. In particular, the bill provides for specific disaster relief coverage under Medicaid for individuals who meet specified income eligibility standards and, during the seven-day period preceding the disaster, were either residents of the impacted area or were employed in the impacted area (and subsequently lost employment). Coverage is effective for two years after the date of the disaster declaration. State Medicaid programs must provide disaster relief coverage that is at least as comprehensive as the state's Medicaid coverage and the Medicaid coverage of the individual's home state, as applicable. The bill applies a 100% Federal Medical Assistance Percentage to such coverage and related administrative expenses.

Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) United Spinal, as a Steering Committee Co-Chair of both ITEM Coalition and the Coalition to Preserve Rehabilitation, met with HHS External Affairs team to discuss the need for specialized rehabilitation for our population and the importance of protections for customized wheelchair features such as standing wheelchairs and seat elevation. Continue to advocate for opposition to HHS competitive bidding program for customized wheelchairs and ventilators and medical supplies to be included in Medicares competitive bidding program. United Spinal signed on to and helped draft a letter to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) opposed to including ventilators in the competitive bidding program. As part of the ITEM Coalition and CPR Steering Committees and HAB Coalition membership, we also raised concerns in a letter to CMS on its proposal to expand the sale of health insurance across state lines which may leave adults and children, particularly those with disabilities and chronic health conditions, with less comprehensive coverage and higher out-of-pocket costs but we support the efforts of increasing coverage in general. Sent letters to CMS opposing inclusion of ventilators in Medicares competitive bidding program. Worked with PCHA, ResMed and helped draft letters for the ITEM Coalition for Congress. United Spinal supports H.R. 2293 introduced by Representatives John Larson and Lee Zeldin - Protecting Access to Wheelchairs Act. United Spinal supports S. 1223 introduced by Senators Bob Casey and Rob Portman. - Protecting Beneficiary Access to Complex Rehab Technology Act of 2019. United Spinal supports HR 2408 - Ensuring Access to Quality Complex Rehabilitation Technology Act of 2019. United Spinal, as a member of the MAP Rx Coalition, signed onto a letter to leadership of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Energy & Commerce Committee supporting caps to out of pocket costs for Medicare Part D beneficiaries and other issues. CMS As a member of the Personal Connected Health Alliance (PCHAlliance), a non-profit membership association, United Spinal joined in comments on the Interoperability and Patient Access for Medicare Advantage Organization and Medicaid Managed Care Plans, State Medicaid Agencies, CHIP Agencies and CHIP Managed Care Entities, Issuers of Qualified Health Plans in the Federally-Facilitated Exchanges and Health Care Providers (CMS-9115-P) in an effort to advance CMS policy to enable consumers access to health information and administrative consumer information. United Spinal Association supports H.R.3215/S.1754 - Disaster Relief Medicaid Act which would ensure that Medicaid-eligible individuals displaced during a disaster are able to access those same services. United Spinal submitted a letter of support for H.R. 1839/ Medicaid Services Investment and Accountability Act of 2019, Public Law 116-16. This bill extends protection for Medicaid recipients of home and community-based services against spousal impoverishment as well as strengthens the Medicaid program for children with complex medical needs and protects seniors and people with disabilities. Medicares Competitive Bidding Program United Spinal, as a member of the ITEM Coalitions Steering Committee, United Spinal helped draft and singed on to letters to Congress supporting CRT bills and exemption of manual CRT accessories from competitive bidding as well as opposition to inclusion of ventilators in the competitive bidding program and helped with additional Congressional signatories to opposing including ventilators in the program.
