It is a 3-minute video and includes extremely moving words from the patient advocates – it is a great compilation that makes the case for CMS to provide coverage.
We encourage everyone to share with their friends, families, and professional networks on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media. This can help get the word out!
There is an extremely good Congressional letter to CMS from Representatives Nanette Barragán, Barbara Lee, Brett Guthrie, and Marjorie Miller-Meeks that we are hoping additional offices will sign on by COB Friday, March 25. The letter asks CMS to provide full coverage for all monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Please call and email your US Representative to ask them to sign on today by reaching out to Congresswoman Barragán’s staff (email: [email protected])!
