The US COPD Coalition is pleased to announce our next webinar, which will feature speakers from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

The webinar will provide an overview to beneficiaries on the Medicare publication titled Medicare Coverage of Durable Medical Equipment and Other Devices (pub.11045).

Updates were made to this publication in August 2020 in order to better meet the needs of Medicare beneficiaries, and we will review those updates. Our guest speakers are Tangita Daramola, Competitive Acquisition Ombudsman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and her colleague Barbara McCoy, Associate Ombudsman for CMS. Tangita and Barbara will discuss the updates that have been made to the publication, with a focus on respiratory durable medical equipment issues. They will also cover resources available to Medicare beneficiaries, as well as where beneficiaries can go to obtain assistance.

You will have the opportunity to submit questions in writing to our panelists during the live broadcast.
