Reliable Respiratory Wins MA, RI, NH Medicare Bids

NORWOOD, MASS. -- In the 2016 round of Medicare’s Competitive Bidding Program, Reliable Respiratory was selected as a provider for Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire.

Reliable Respiratory’s Business Development Manager Joe MacDermott says, “The competition was intense and we were thrilled to be chosen. We know that most physicans and patients want to choose a company that is part of the community they live in with a history of best-in-class products and service.

Revenue Cycle Manager Adam Hurwitz says Reliable’s motto, ‘Committed to kind and compassionate service along with cost containment’ is more than a slogan: “It’s a philosophy that each of Reliable’s staff member’s works hard to adhere to. Hurwitz notes several reasons for the company’s growth and success:

· Latest Technology – rigorous investment in training and state-of-the-art equipment to help patients become compliant and enjoy an improved quality of life. For instance, all CPAP units have embedded autopap functionality. Each of Reliable’s home oxygen patients are eligible for free portable oxygen concentrator loaner for up to two weeks at a time.

· Scale and volume – Allows cost containment. Reliable is adding to its already robust fleet with up to 200 new portable oxygen concentrators and expects to maintain a fleet of rental inventory approaching 20,000 unique items during 2017.

· Reliable Equipment Mobiles (R.E.M.) - The largest dedicated fleet in New England brings licensed Respiratory Therapists and a fully-stocked GPS-enabled mini-warehouse directly to the patient’s home. With the R.E.M. fleet, Reliable is seldom more than 30 minutes away from any customer in MA, RI, or southern NH.

· Serving urban and suburban patients promptly and reliably. (“From experience, often deliveries to rural patients are more efficient and quicker than having to travel more congested and unpredictable traffic patterns closer to major MSO’s,” Hurwitz says. “This can equate to unparalleled, Reliable service.”

· Long-tenured, kind, knowledgeable, and friendly staff that are part of the communities we serve.

MacDermott says, “We work hard and smart to satisfy patients, clinical staff, and administrative requirements. Our attention to detail combined with sincere care and compassion for patients are keys to our success.” For more info: email support@reliablerespiratory.com or fax (781) 987-8206.
