Protect Access to Ostomy and Urological Supplies

 

Patients living with an ostomy or managing urinary conditions depend on the specific supplies that meet their clinical needs. These products are not interchangeable, and the wrong one can mean skin breakdown, leaks, infections and avoidable hospital stays. H.R. 10787 would keep ostomy and urological supplies out of Medicare’s competitive bidding program for five years while the impact on patients is assessed. As a nurse, your voice carries weight. Send a letter to your representative asking them to cosponsor H.R. 10787 and protect your patients’ access to the supplies they need.
