Price Reintroduces Bill to Repeal O2 Cap
WASHINGTON — January 29, 2007--Last Monday, Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., reintroduced the Home Oxygen Patient Protection Act.
The bill would repeal the Deficit Reduction Act's rental cap on Medicare home oxygen and restore ownership of equipment to providers.
H.R. 621, its official designation this time around, is a carbon copy of legislation introduced in the last congressional session by Price, a physician, and Michigan Rep. Joe Schwarz, also a physician. (See HomeCare Monday, June 5, 2006.)
Known as H.R. 5513, last year's bill picked up 84 cosponsors but was referred to committee with no action before the 109th Congress adjourned. Schwarz, an ear, nose and throat surgeon, had vowed to reintroduce the bill if it didn't pass, but he was defeated in Michigan's Republican primary.
