SEND A LETTER
Tell the President and Congress Medicare MUST cover Alzheimer’s Treatments. The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) has proposed a new Medicare coverage decision that effectively would block millions of Americans from getting access to life-changing medications to treat Alzheimer’s.
The earlier Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed, the sooner patients and their families can receive the information, care, and support they need. Yet, studies indicate that fewer than half of patients with dementia have been diagnosed by a physician.
We can’t let this happen. We’re not giving up and we need YOUR help. Will you contact your President and members of Congress?
