HME Software Evolution
The software systems that providers use continue to respond to industry changes. They add new capabilities in order to help providers tackle new trends, challenges and opportunities. We survey the latest developments from a variety of software companies to see how their products are evolving to help providers.
Non-Medicare Oxygen
Oxygen products and services are a key segment for HME, but not all of its users are Medicare beneficiaries. What are the new non-Medicare markets? What are the new oxygen business models that are being developed to serve those markets? Who are the patients? How can providers find a way in?
