Closing DME

Post by mikerrt » Wed Aug 20, 2014 10:30 am

I am closing the DME portion of our Sleep Lab, we are now primarily conducting research studies, and have numerous Cpap, BiPap and masks. Just PM me what you are looking for and if I have it , we can go from there.

I understand Medicare has a problem with a lab and a DME under the same roof,
and competitive bidding is putting a lot of "shops" out of business.
My DME is brand new, but their bread and butter is oxygen.

We didnt have a problem with cms, and we are outside the reach of the latest round of bidding. Our lab is focused on clinical research studies and dme doesn't fit our business model and is too labor intensive to be viable.

I also have a boat load of Climate Line Tubing, and some older (although never used) Respironics M series machines.

Has anyone heard anything more about Mike? We were in touch on Monday, setting up an exchange, but nothing since then...
