Disability Health Care Coalition Survey: Need Your Participation by Tomorrow,

June 1!

via AAPD (5.31.11):

Disability Health Care Coalition Survey: Your Participation Needed by June 1

AAPD is a member of a disability-based health care & assistive technology

coalition known as The ITEM Coalition. More at http://www.itemcoalition.org/

ITEM advocates to make sure rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices

are covered by insurance plans as the marketplace changes. To make sure this

happens, ITEM is collecting information on typical coverage of these services

and devices by employer-sponsored health insurance plans. We’re particularly

interested in things like physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech

therapy, etc. and devices (durable medical equipment) and things like

orthotics, prosthetics, or other assistive devices.

If you -- or someone you are responding for -- have health insurance through

an employer and you have (or previously had) a disability or chronic condition,

please take a moment to respond to this quick online survey called “Insurance

Coverage of Rehabilitative and Habilitative Devices,†at

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LY58SY5

Your participation in the survey will help AAPD and our colleagues in the

ITEM coalition ensure that healthcare reform best serves the needs of

individuals with disabilities and chronic conditions. The survey has 10

questions and should only take 5 minutes to complete. Your responses will be

kept anonymous. We will use the answers to make sure these things continue to

be covered!

If you have questions about the survey or about the ITEM coalition, please
