HME Providers was developed over 7 years ago with the intent to provide a network of smaller DME providers all the benefits of a $100 m corporation. With over 500 DME providers nationwide representing over $1 billion in gross revenues, HME Providers was awarded a contract from an OEM manufacturer based out of Shanghai named VPI. By working as a combined entity, DME providers have the ability to private label their own DME line, order containers of mixed products and even develop new products. The primary factor of this synergy to come together is communication between vendors and DME providers. This is made available by a content driven website complete with 1000’s of DME items offered by all the major manufacturers in the country. This database is constantly updated and maintained in house and changes can be made instantly with a refresh of the webpage. HME Providers offers unlimited professional email accounts to maintain instant communication for discontinued products, innovative products being introduced to the industry and imperative breaking news. With all the changes currently taking place in DME, HME Providers offers online seminars and live webcasts available at no charge to members. HME Providers’ mission is to empower the DME company to not only survive through Medicare changes, but thrive.
