NCAMES is Featured on Channel 14 News
NCAMES did a story on News Carolina Channel 14 on January 18, 2010 at Triangle Aftercare in Durham. The reporter focused on the loss of patient choice, patient confusion, and the loss of jobs that will stem from the Restricting DMEPOS Bidding Program slated to come to the Charlotte area January 2011 and the Raleigh/Durham, Asheville and Greensboro, High Point areas the following year.
