Why Compliance Is Critical in Medical Supply Delivery

The word compliance doesn’t usually bring fun and games to mind. We tend to think of things like “Doing it by the book,” “Just the facts,” and “To the Letter of the Law.” In the medical supply industry, compliance is often associated with the latest news in fraud or privacy breach.

We hear about major busts involving large networks and billions of stolen funds , and it gives the impression that compliance is only there to keep the law off your back. It’s an unfortunate perspective, because it misses the two best outcomes that compliance provides: improved customer experience, and greater benefits to providers working on behalf of a customer.

What is Healthcare Compliance?

Boiled down to its basics, compliance with healthcare laws is fairly straightforward:

  1. Provide a service
  2. Bill the service correctly
  3. Document the service
  4. Protect the health information

Every part of this process is governed by federal or state regulations, from notices to patients about rights, to billing the insurance provider, to documenting the patient condition in medical records, to safeguarding their health information (HIPAA , for example). Adhering to these laws ensures that funds are used correctly and that the patient is protected along the way.

The Benefits of Committing to Compliance

Our commitment to health care compliance differs from many other medical supply providers. While some see it as an obstacle, we embrace compliance completely. By choosing to accomplish business goals compliantly, we can:

  1. Build trust and integrity with our customers and partners
  2. Focus closely on the customer service experience
  3. Provide better assistance to healthcare professionals

Compliant practices foster trust, which attracts trustworthy people. By committing ourselves to doing things the right way (even when no one is looking), we’re able to attract top talent in the industry, making us an ethical business that other companies and insurance plans want to do business with. The result is a network of great people and companies working hard for patients and doing it in way that’s trustworthy and honest.

Compliance and Healthcare Experience:

Compliance also means performing a lot of research, and we use it to enrich the customer experience. Thanks to the meticulous research efforts of our compliance team, we can focus entirely on the needs of our customers. All of the information we need has already been compiled into our technology systems, allowing fast answers to any issue a customer may have. The customer receives the care they deserve, as we don’t need to split our attention between listening to their needs and digging through reference materials.

In addition, complying to the requirements allows us to better assist other healthcare professionals. In order for patients to get medical supplies using their insurance, physicians need to include specific information on the paperwork. We know exactly what that information is, and we share it with the physicians of our customers. This saves physicians the headache of rewriting paperwork due to rejected claims. We also provide the right forms, so they waste no time spent searching for the right ones.

If a company is serious about helping its customers, it should take compliance seriously as well. Today’s public insists on it, and rightly so. The laws are there to protect us, and by adhering to them, we help to create a better, more efficient healthcare experience for everyone. We’ve certainly committed to compliance; it’s simply the better way to do things, and the benefits to our customers are too good to ignore.

Helping Patients Understand Insurance Coverage for Medical Supplies

Anyone who regularly deals with healthcare insurance understands its complexities; the sheer number of different plans, the constant updates, the strict paperwork requirements for filing claims. It’s often too much for a person to handle alone. Many don’t know where to begin, and there’s no obvious resource to turn to. As a healthcare professional, you may be able to offer some assistance, but your time is already stretched thin enough treating your patients. We understand this hardship, and have a solution for both you and your patients.

We Are Your Expert

At Home Care Delivered, we serve as the team who can bridge the knowledge gap between patient and insurance. Patients can contact us, provide their insurance information, and in the same phone call, we can typically find the exact details of their medical supply coverage. Patients don’t need to do any research of their own; as long as they have the name of their insurance plan and the state of their network, we can educate them quickly on their options.

We have this capability thanks to the technology we’ve created. It stores and organizes detailed insurance information about requirements for medical supply coverage. Included is information such as the products covered, the number of items allowed per month, paperwork requirements, and any additional conditions that need to be met for coverage to go in effect.

Manning this massive database is our compliance team. It keeps all of the information by meticulously researching both insurance plans and laws that affect coverage. This ensures that the information we give to patients is as accurate as possible.
