Dear [firstname,fallback=Prescriber],

Orlando, FL — March 8, 2007 — Permobil, The ROHO Group, and TiLite announced today the formation of the Users First Alliance.  “With so much focus on declining reimbursement and the resulting financial implications to providers and manufacturers, the industry seems to be losing sight of the most important component of our business – the consumer. The founding members of the Users First Alliance believe that consumers and clinicians should expect more than equipment that is considered ‘just good enough’,” said Tom Borcherding, Executive Vice President of The ROHO Group.

The Users First Alliance was formed out of the desire to improve the wheelchair user’s quality of life, including their long-term physical and mental health outcomes.  By providing customers with state-of-the-art products and quality education, the Users First Alliance aims to encourage and assist wheelchair users, clinicians and providers to drive product selection based on client needs, and to work together to ensure appropriate access to such equipment.

David Lippes, Chairman and CEO of TiLite, added “Wheelchair users deserve the highest level of mobility that current technology offers.  Only a handful of users experience the freedom and health benefits that are attainable with today’s state-of-the-art, high-performance seating and mobility equipment.  During the equipment selection process, wheelchair users should not sacrifice equipment performance or medical outcomes based upon apparent reimbursement limitations.  We can help.”

The Users First Alliance will:

• Educate users, clinicians and providers about the selection process for rehabilitation equipment;

• Emphasize the importance of providing the highest quality and best performing equipment due to the direct relationship of equipment quality and performance to long-term medical outcomes;

• Provide access to information about insurance coding and reimbursement solutions; and

• Guide users, clinicians and providers in the reimbursement process to help ensure accessibility of and appropriate reimbursement for this equipment.
