The buzz is building and there’s a ton of year-end developments breaking!  The exhibit hall has sold out with a record-breaking number of vendors and registration is rolling!  What better way to get plugged in to vital industry news and reconnect with your peers than by attending OAMES 35th Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Columbus, Nov. 17-18!? 

What can you expect to hear?  We have Medicaid DME rules open for review, critical discussions unfolding on Capitol Hill on the nationwide rollout of Medicare bid rates for HME and CRT, new information about the bidding studies from the National Minority Quality Forum, and news on other federal initiatives such as Medicare prior authorization and audit reform legislation, Round  1 2017 bidding progress and more.  We’ll hear important state updates from the Ohio’s top Medicaid official about the direction of the state’s Medicaid program and details regarding on-site visits to Ohio DME companies required by the ACA.  On day, we have thought-provoking sessions with intense business and strategy content presented by the VGM team hosting their popular Fall Seminar Series.

One of the highlights at this year’s conference will be the recognition of an amazing family in Central Ohio.  Linda Eckfeld will be present to receive OAMES Healthcare Innovation Award.  Join us on Nov. 17 to hear her story caring for medically fragile children and their amazing collaboration working with local health care organizations and learning institutions to trail-blaze a powerful role for home-based care.
