AARC Virtual Lobby Campaign Reboot – 2019
We are very pleased to have our BREATHE Act, H.R. 2508, introduced on May 2, 2019. This legislation is a 3-year pilot that allows respiratory therapists to furnish disease management services, such as self-management education and training, demonstration / evaluation of proper inhaler techniques, smoking cessation and remote patient monitoring to Medicare beneficiaries with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
