Is a Global PAP Shortage Enough to Make You Diversify Your Business?
Can your business continue to weather the global PAP shortage, and if so, for how long? Are you losing referrals to other providers that can source PAP devices? Now is the time to take advantage of an emerging market: home ventilation. You don’t want to miss the buck on this opportunity.
Starting an NIV Program
Starting a non-invasive ventilation (NIV) program is easier today than ever before. VGM and our vendor partners can assist you every step of the way. We realize that stepping out of the status quo is easier said than done. Together, VGM and our vendor partners have created a plug-and-play program to ensure your success in the NIV market.
Numerous suppliers are currently dispensing ventilators throughout the U.S. Diversifying your program is key to success in today’s market. And as we’ve discussed in this playbook and others, the days of simply issuing equipment and billing are at an end. DME providers will have to become more clinically involved in their patient care.
A recent study conducted by Viemed showed patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic respiratory failure (CRF) who were treated with NIV at home had:
50% decrease in all-cause mortality during the study period
28% decline in the risk of hospitalization
52% reduction in the risk of an emergency room visit
