ATTENTION!!!

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED

Yesterday, (Thursday, Sept. 26) the U.S. Senate Finance Commitee struck a
deal on a Medicare giveback package that includes Competitive Bidding for
DME and O&P.

It will be introduced to the Senate as early as Monday, Sept. 30 under the
provision of Rule 14 which bypasses committee and goes directly to the
Senate floor. Under Rule 14, the bill would require unanimous consent by
the entire Senate to be voted on.

ACT NOW!

It only takes 1 senator to stop this from coming to a vote.

You, your employees AND your patients NEED to contact your state Senators
TODAY!!!

FOR MORE INFORMATION, GO TO www.opga.com AND CLICK ON THE MEDICAL GIVEBACK
PACKAGE ALERT AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE

Thank you again for your help in this matter.

V.P., OPGA
