A top HME billing and process outsourcing company, Prochant shared key insights on complex respiratory programs, business value, back office management, and federal regulations.
Maximizing Profitability
Joey Graham, executive vice president and general manager at Prochant, joined Dave Lyman, vice president of respiratory at VGM, for "Maximizing Profitability in Your Complex Respiratory Program." This session explored the shift in and implications of the complex respiratory space from the boutique to the mainstream.
"More and more HME providers are getting involved," said Graham. "There are increased investments in inventory and clinical staff members, so we have to explore how providers can maximize their profitability while providing amazing service to their patients and referrals."
Creating Value
Mathew Mammen, co-founder of sleep software Somnoware and chairman at Prochant, spoke about "Value Migration in U.S. Healthcare: What It Means for You." In this session, Mammen examined how value moves from outdated business models to modern business designs that are better able to meet customers' needs.
Mammen provided examples from similar industries and connected them to current healthcare and HME trends such as consolidation, business closures, and new business models.
Managing the Back Office
Graham also presented on "Best Practices for Managing Your HME Back-office Operations." This session dug deeply into best practices that encourage employee engagement, patient satisfaction, and company growth.
"HME businesses are feeling the pain, and it impacts one of their most crucial areas: back-office operations," explained Graham. He added, "We explored workflow, technology tools, incentives, and key metrics. Attendees analyzed their existing back-office operations and walked away with a plan for improving their collections."
