@gbosslet Daily fight in the DME realm for patients to be able to stay at home with a life sustaining device - I’ve spent countless hours justifying the need for a pediatric patients home ventilator to UHC. Let’s not get started on a rant about basic home oxygen needs,…..
@jxram@hmeliz@mameshme@AASMorg Absolutely! Supply chain issues were already challenging. Some suppliers in VA have already depleted through their ventilator stock,….. no updates on ship dates,….

HME providers will face supply chain constraints, high material costs, and potential inflation well past the end of the pandemic -- that means they need fair reimbursement rates. Here's what our CEO @TomRyanHME told @HomecareMag: https://t.co/4kweodqHk6
@hmeliz Concerned about proper function of CPAP/BIPAP devices with filter inline and Philips has not indicated it for anything outside of the Trilogy. However, many providers in our area are ordering them as something is better than nothing.
Home medical equipment companies have truly been the heroes of the pandemic -- supplying ventilators, hospital beds, wheelchairs, and more to patients in need. Here's an interesting look at the industry's predicted growth by 2027. More here: #hme https://t.co/pz0ipGHnaR
ABC is so very excited to be part of an amazing team of professionals that are champions of the DME industry! They worked tirelessly to help Virginia's General Assembly understand the need to protect every person's access to home medical equipment.
Great meeting with @ACMESAHME and the Virginia Association for Home Care & Hospice this afternoon. Thank you for your role in helping Virginians receive care in their own homes and communities.
@DelegateTorian Thank you for your continued support in saving access to home medical equipment and home care services so patients can safely remain in their homes and receive health care!
Hey everybody look at @AnthemBCBS cutting rates for front line healthcare workers during the Covid crisis!!!
Literally cutting folks that provide oxygen and ventilators.
When I.C.U.s were crowded with Covid-19 patients, one hospital system in New York decided on a new treatment strategy: Bring the hospital to the patients. https://t.co/LoTRjh1lFF
Thank you Virginia Congressman @RobWittman for your continued support of the HME industry! @aahomecare Virginia working hard to advocate for access to durable medical equipment!
@gmsheehan Sad but true! Audit example- “Patient has stage 4 cancer- walks in at 76% oxygen is administered- received fluids same day for dehydration- DENIED -it’s not medically necessary” 🤦🏼♀️ Try explaining that to the doc
The rural providers have spoken. "Why are we doing this? We are drowning in debt. Don't audit us for increased biz due to competitor closures." #VGMHeartland#hmenews
