In South Florida alone, there are TWICE as many durable medical equipment (DME) suppliers as there are McDonald's restaurants. Today, we’re happy to say that we’ve wiped out nearly ALL fraud in DME — a protection of our resources and Americans' hard-earned money.

We were honored to host the latest installment of Congressman @AaronPBean's Pathway to Consensus health policy series, focused on the Medicaid Directed Payment Program and its role in Florida's health care delivery system. Panelists included Brian Blase, president of the @Paragon_Inst, and Mary Mayhew, president and CEO of the @FLHospitalAssn, moderated by Dr. Juan Pulido, Clinical Dean, LECOM - @JacksonvilleU and pulmonologist with Jacksonville Lung Clinic who practices at Baptist Medical Center Beaches. The conversation explored a range of perspectives on Medicaid supplemental payments, federal reform proposals, provider tax policy, hospital reimbursement and the potential impact on access to care for Medicaid, uninsured, pediatric and medically complex patients. At Baptist Health, we believe thoughtful conversations about health policy matter because they ultimately affect patients, caregivers and communities. We appreciate the opportunity to bring together leaders with differing perspectives to discuss these complex issues and their real-world implications.
