How the SOAR Act Can Keep Patients' Oxygen Flowing
Guests: Patti Tripathi, ATS Breathe Easy host; Susan Jacobs, RN, MS, research nurse manager at Stanford University; and Jaeger Spratt, MSW, advocacy and treatment access program manager
The Supplemental Oxygen Access Reform Act is pending legislation that would establish requirements for the payment and provision of supplemental oxygen and related services under Medicare. But how would this legislation affect patients, and how is the American Thoracic Society Nursing Assembly leading the charge in advocating for their needs? Guest host Patti Tripathi explores these questions with Susan Jacobs and Jaeger Spratt.
This episode is the first in a two-part collaboration with the ATS Breathe Easy podcast. Visit “Help Us Breathe: PH Patients Advocate for Oxygen Reform” to listen to part two.
