CADA is now OHMEPA

We are pleased to announce that CADA members have voted to approve the merger between CADA and HMEPA-ON and to change our association name to Ontario Home Medical Equipment Providers Association.

Over the next number of weeks we will be undertaking a full rebranding from CADA to OHMEPA so we request your patience as we transition.

We reached a consensus to merge our organizations around one vision of advocating for continuing and improving market opportunities for Ontario’s Assistive Devices Providers.

The value of the merger is clear.

1. We have one unified voice to approach government decision makers.
2. We have an expanded and more diversified membership, and it is growing.
3. We have more volunteers and the ability to accomplish more.

The new association will focus specifically on meeting the needs of Ontario Assistive Devices Providers.

As you know, we have accomplished a great deal in the past year. We have moved the dial further with ADP in a single year, than in many preceding years combined.

Last year the conversation with ADP started with pandemic-related issues and these discussions are ongoing. We have also taken the conversation much further than that. We are now having meaningful discussions around a role for CADA in ADP pricing reviews and a more transparent audit process.

The new association will continue to work actively on the following priorities:

1. Fostering a transparent and collaborative relationship with the Assistive Devices Program (ADP).
2. Collaborating with the government of Ontario to advocate for fair and reasonable contract procurement and reimbursement policies, and data-driven pricing policies.
3. Recruiting membership to gather a broad range of perspectives and to maintain and expand our reach as an advocacy body.
