Our Prosthetic Parity Bill Assigned to Great Committees

The Missouri Prosthetic Parity Bill is HB 616 in the House and SB 320 in the Senate. It has been assigned to the House committee on Health Policy, chaired by our bill sponsor Rep. Dr. Wayne Cooper, a Republican from Camdenton. In the Senate, it has been assigned to the committee on Health, Mental Health, Seniors and Families, chaired by Senator Norma Champion – R (Springfield). Last year we were assigned to the insurance committees, so this is a positive development. You can follow the progress of these bills by clicking on the links provided. If you live in Senator Champion's district around Springfield, MO, please call her and let her know of your support for SB 320. We expect to have hearings around the beginning of March--coming up quick--so please make plans to attend, especially if you are an amputee affected by insurance caps on your coverage.
