Automation technology has made great strides within the HME industry, organizing and streamlining operational office functions that go beyond billing.

Interoperability – the cyber pipeline for data sharing among various providers on the health care continuum – has been evolving over the past two decades since its launch during President George W. Bush’s administration in 2004.

Assigned to your account is a “point person" who, in our experience, does not know what team member...
