Spending: about $5,820,000 (But it's complicated. Here's why.)
It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement. The law only requires lobbyists to report the amount they were paid for federal lobbying each quarter rounded to the nearest $10,000—and if it's less than $3,000 in a given quarter (or less than $13,000 for organizations with in-house lobbyists), they don't have to disclose it at all. Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.
Agencies lobbied since 2007: U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Health & Human Services - Dept of (HHS), Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), Health & Human Services - Dept of (HHS), Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), White House Office, Labor - Dept of (DOL), Y

Lobbyists
Lobbyists named here were listed on a filing related to this lobbying engagement. They may not be working on it now. Occasionally, a single lobbyist whose name is spelled two different ways on filings may be represented twice here.
Disclosures Filed
Once a lobbying engagement begins, the lobbyist or firm is required to file updates four times a year. Those updates sometimes change which lobbyists are involved or add new issues being discussed. When lobbyists stop working for a client, the firm is also supposed to file a report disclosing the end of the relationship.

OSF Healthcare lobbied against the formation of a Medicare Advisory Committee (MC) The authority proposed lacks accountability to an elected official. It is not independent, by definition it only represents the interests of those appointed to the committee.
Demonstration for Tort Reform This type of reform is needed in our state to reduce the costs associated with defensive medicine. Please provide support in the form of a letter to the Secretary of HHS encouraging a Demonstration of this type in our state.
Home Health Payment Reform Home Health payments should account for the complexity of the patient. Across the board cuts to home health would devastate home health agencies, especially those who are serving complex, higher risk patients where margins are often negative or break even. Home health is the lowest cost setting for these patients; a reduction of the type currently proposed would result in a dramatic decrease in access to home health services.
OSF Healthcare System lobbied for general support of Children's health care services in the Health care reform debate.

The OSF Healthcare System asked for support of the National Trauma Center Stabilization Act (S. 733 or H.R. 936). These bills are intended to provide federal funding ($100 - $125 million) for the core mission, uncompensated care and emergency needs of trauma centers. This legislation would reauthorize the Trauma Care Grant Program. We also asked for support of preserving Hospice services and rates. We specifically asked our Legislators to sign on to a letter to be sent to the President in support of Hospice.We asked our Legislators to support the "fix" of the Medicare physician fee schedules and the SRG formula. This fix is necessary to assure the continued access to physician services in our communities. We addressed our concerns over the instability of physician reimbursement and the difficulty of recruiting physicians to central Illinois; and, the proposal to increase the usage of Radiology Benefit Managers that are cumbersome, costly and are not quality driven.
We asked our Legislators to protect Home Care services. The Presidents budget calls for significant cuts to Home Health reimbursement. Hospital based and affiliated Home Health is NOT operating at high margins and will sustain significant losses if reimbursement is reduced as much as 5.5% from 2009 rates. This will create significant access issues in all markets, more significantly in rural markets. This may also contribute to increased readmission rates, higher cost of post acute care and a decline in the quality of post acute care.
We asked our Legislators to generally support our communities, hospitals and providers in the upcoming Health care reform discussions.
