Who's Gonna Pay for That?
Durable Medical Equipment and Healthcare Reform
Teri A. Adams, JD
Stanford Disability
Resource Center |
Abstract: Teri will discuss her
perception of the problems inherent in the current medical system and the
alarming lack of discussion about where durable medical equipment (known as DME
in the healthcare insurance business) will come out if healthcare reform passes
in one form or another. Durable medical equipment includes everything from a
cane to a power wheelchair and everything in between. Teri will relate some
personal horror stories borne of our current system and pose hard questions
about where we go from here.
Biosketch: Teri Adams is the Assistant
Director of the Office of
Accessible Education and the
Student
Disability Resource Center. The Center is committed to providing Stanford
students with disabilities the support and services needed to allow them the
opportunity to participate in the rich and varied life at Stanford University.
In addition to academic accommodations for students, Teri also expedites all
housing assignments and facilities requests related to disability.
