Quaterly Gathering: Understanding the Competitive Bidding Ruling

Our quarterly gathering will be this Monday, May 18, at 6:30 pm.

Our featured speaker will, unfortunately, be unable to attend. However, we will still meet to discuss the recent Medicare Competitive Bidding Ruling and what it means for you.

The ruling, scheduled to take effect in 2028, will limit the number of contractors providing ostomy supplies nationwide. Because other health plans typically mirror Medicare policies, this change will likely have a broader impact.

As usual, the gathering will be held in the Snohomish County PUD Electric Building Headquarters at 2320 California St. in Everett.

You can always attend virtually via Zoom:
