Keep Them OUT
The Medicare Program and Congress Need to Hear From You!
Scroll down for more information.
Help the ITEM Coalition advocate for Medicare to keep Ostomy, Urological, and Tracheostomy supplies OUT of competitive bidding.
Learn more and take action now!

ACTION ALERT
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is pressing forward with competitive bidding of ostomy and urological supplies through less than 10 national suppliers. Tracheostomy supplies will be bid at a later date.
Competitive bidding would rely on the lowest bidder to provide these supplies through a small set of national suppliers, eliminating access to community providers and reducing patient access, choice of product, and quality of care.
Join us in our effort to keep these intimate and personal products OUT of competitive bidding!!
