• FY2024 VA/Milcon Appropriations- Advocacy to advance congressional report & bill langauge surrounding the prevention & treatment of pressure injuries/pressure ulcers

Duration: February 5, 2018 to November 30, 2021

General Issues: Health Issues, Medical/Disease Research/Clinical Labs, Manufacturing, Budget/Appropriations, Medicare/Medicaid

Spending: about $1,310,000 (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 2018: U.S. Senate, House of Representatives, Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Health & Human Services - Dept of (HHS), White House Office

Related Foreign Entities: Molnlycke Health Care AB (Goteborg, SWE); contribution to lobbying: $0; ownership 100%
