In the previous episode of the HMEB Podcast, which was sponsored by PlayMaker Health, Ty Bello, president of HME sales and management consulting firm Team @Work, discussed how interviews he conducted with 22 HME providers of varying care categories and business models started to show some common responses to COVID-19 being implemented across the HME industry. His research covered all aspects of HME: sales; engaging with patients at the business and in the home; telehealth; deliveries; working with referral providers; and operations.
