CMS’s Vaccine Mandate: More than Meets the Eye

February 28, 2022 by David Kopf

When it turned out that CMS’s mask mandates didn’t directly apply to the DME industry, a lot of providers heaved a sigh of relief. But maybe they breathed a little too easily.

In the latest episode of the HME Business Podcast, Sandy Canally, RN, founder and CEO of accrediting organization The Compliance Team, discusses how, while the agency didn’t directly include DMEPOS suppliers and DME pharmacies, those HME businesses might still need to comply with the guidelines if they want to keep doing business with certain referral partners.

In the previous episode of the HME Business Podcast, John Medina, RRT, director of sales at CAIRE Inc., and David Lyman RRT, RRT-SDS, vice president of VGM Respiratory, discuss how Covid-19 has forced considerable changes for home oxygen care, and how the situation has evolved for oxygen and respiratory providers and the clinical care team as a whole.

The HMEB Podcast examines essential news, trends, and developments and interviews industry experts to find out how HME provider owners and operators can run efficient, profitable, and growing businesses with an eye on patient care.
