[Walter Mitchell]

Greetings all,

 

Please read the invitation to a teleconference that will discuss permanent
Medicare coverage of low vision medical devices. In regard to the situation
that we have encountered about Medicare and their coverage of the accessible
diabetic testing equipment , this could be very interesting:

 

Free teleconference October 4, 3pm Eastern, join a discussion with a panel
of experts and advocates across the spectrum regarding permanent Medicare
coverage for low vision devices. These panelists represent the ophthalmic,
optometric, low vision, assistive technology, frontline blindness field
practitioner, public and private service provider agency, consumer and
related communities. Hear what they have to say, assess for yourself whether
you agree with their diverse perspectives, and engage with them. Dial: 1
(866) 939-3921; Then Enter code: 45490371

 

I hope that you are able to chime in.

 

Thank you,
