Peter Thomas, Powers’ Managing Partner, and Michael Barnett, Counsel, were recently featured in AdvaMed‘s newest Q&A series, “Partners in Patient Care.”
As co-coordinators of the Independence Through Enhancement of Medicare and Medicaid (ITEM) Coalition, Peter and Michael discussed barriers to access, their priorities for 2027, and how patient advocates and the medtech community can work together to support greater independence. To learn how you can support the ITEM Coalition’s work, contact Michael Barnett at Michael.Barnett@PowersLaw.com.
