I received your email Errol, I'm sending to you rather than the list.no, 
I'll send it to both, just in case.
I'm really happy to hear from you

Hello everyone,

  We are still here, nothing has 
changed, my email address is the same, so I don't really know what is going on 
with the cyber space communications.   We were not directly adversely affected 
by the flooding around Brisbane as we are on high ground here.   Our youngest 
son who lives about 16 kilometres north of us, had water through his garage but 
not the house.  He is in  fairly flat area and the storm water backed up and 
did not drain away from the street well.We have not been affected by the 
cyclone either, Cairns is around 1960 kilometres north of us, however we have 
friends who live at Luninda just near where the cyclone crossed the coast.   We 
have not heard from them at this time, I think they would have evacuated to 
higher ground.   

 Could you please let me know when you 
get this email.  I will keep it short for now, hopefully it will go through.

  Take care all and be well.

  Kindest Regards from Errol White, South East Queensland, Australia

  I haven't heard from Errol either;  his last e-mail is dated 28 dec 10.  In 
fact, his ISP (Bigpond) has been sending me notices of 'unable to deliver' 
e-mails from Errol and other Bigpond folks down undah.

It's a really bad time Barb.  I haven't heard from Errol in a very long 
time, so I don't know what's happening with him, he lives in the top end in 
Queensland.  I'm doing quite well in South Australia, we remain untouched

sure would benefit many of us!

  Do you want to make a difference? 
Join with thousands of other concerned citizens to help assure access 
for people with disabilities to the Complex Rehab Technology they require. 



  


  Mark the date! 




* Tell your clients, patients, family, friends, colleagues, and workmates. * 
Tell anyone else you know who might feel that Americans with disabilities need 
access to the technology that improves their function, health and enhances the 
quality of their lives. * Tell them that, for this initiative to be successful, 
each of them needs to call their Members of Congress on February 16 . * Tell 
them to let their Members of Congress know they should support legislation to 
establish a Separate Benefit Category for Complex Rehab Technology under 
Medicare . 


We are asking Congress to create a separate CRT benefit category under the 
Medicare program. This would include the elimination of Medicare's "In the 
Home" restriction for CRT products as well as the requirements laid out by the 
disability community in the document below. Our objective is to improve access 
for people of all ages, whether covered by Medicare, Medicaid or private 
insurance.

  Ensuring Consumer Access to Complex Rehab Technology 
Requirements for Maximizing Outcomes 


Complex Rehab Technology (CRT) products are defined as medically necessary, 
individually configured devices that require evaluation, configuration, 
fitting, adjustment or programming. Examples of CRT include individually 
configured manual wheelchair systems, power wheelchair systems, adaptive 
seating systems, alternative positioning systems and other mobility devices. 
These products and services are designed to meet the specific and unique 
medical, physical, and functional needs of an individual with a primary 
diagnosis resulting from a congenital disorder, progressive or degenerative 
neuromuscular disease, or from certain types of injury or trauma. 
  
CRT is essential for the health and well-being of people with disabilities who 
require the equipment and services and for their caregivers. The proper access 
to and provision of CRT products and services is critical for the independence, 
well-being, and ability of people with disabilities to live, attend school, 
work, worship and participate in their communities. To ensure there is 
appropriate access, the following requirements must be incorporated into all 
applicable policies and practices: 








• Consumers require a choice of appropriate quality equipment and services 
and the opportunity for input during the evaluation, selection, and procurement 
processes. 
• Consumers require access to a thorough evaluation by qualified clinicians 
and suppliers. 
• Consumers require transparency in the funding process and associated 
decisions, including an option for the consumer to provide supplementary 
funding above available allowable payment amounts. 
• Consumers require adequate customization, integration, fitting, 
adjustment, and training along with appropriate post-delivery maintenance and 
timely repair. 
• Consumers require that clinicians and suppliers be held accountable to 
appropriate quality and service standards. 
• Consumers require responsiveness from clinicians, suppliers, 
manufacturers, and payers along with timely complaint resolution and consumer 
recourse. 
• Consumers require that physicians, case managers, social workers, 
discharge planners, and other referral sources be provided a clear and concise 
process for making a re
