The Supplemental Oxygen Access Reform (SOAR) Act is being introduced in the Senate and needs your support. For too long, people who require supplemental oxygen have not been guaranteed appropriate modality or liter flow for their treatment and disease. Once enacted, this legislation will remove supplemental oxygen from competitive bidding, add much-needed protections for individuals, ensure access to respiratory therapists, and make sure payment for suppliers is predictable.

F695 Respiratory Care was the 7th most cited deficiency in standard health surveys so far for the 2024 Fiscal Year, being cited in 21% of surveys.

"The Care Circle lists all of my doctors, with their phone numbers and addresses. This is very easy for me to read. I recently needed to go to the Emergency Room, and I just pulled out my phone, with the Together by Renee App, to give the doctor my medication list, name of doctor and her address. It also gave him a baseline for my Blood Pressure, Pulse Rate, Blood Oxygen, and Respiratory Rate. The emergency room physician was so amazed at the Together App and said that he was going to recommend it to his colleagues to tell their patients. This Care Circle also lists the pharmacy information!" #userfeedback #togetherapp #we'reinthistogether
