Testify in congress for pain issues
Those having to deal with the federal government in the payment or remittance of equipment or services have an excellent idea of the red tape that is involved. For those of us with CRPS, it can be almost impossible to get the governmental people on the other end of the phone to understand. They have a list of what is needed and required, not what you need that ends up being paid for. So you don’t get what you need but rather what they think you need. To help get past these problems the CELA conference is looking for people that have CRPS and are willing to go in front of congress and tell them what you have gone through.
Have you or a loved one been denied Complex Rehab Equipment that would enable a healthier, happier and higher quality of life? Did you know your government is providing reimbursement based on which equipment they think is best for you? Their decisions are not based on what actually is best for your unique medical needs. So basically – you are getting rehab equipment – but what the government feels is appropriate for you. Not what is really best for you to live an independent healthy lifestyle. If this scenario sounds familiar and you would like to get involved and help change the way the government reimburses for Complex Rehab Equipment, go to
