HME Experts Join Forces, Prepare Providers for 20% Medicare Pay Raise


The home medical equipment (HME) industry is changing. HME veterans Joey Graham and Ty Bello are preparing providers for this shift with their new white paper, “2021 & Beyond: From Surviving to Thriving.” Since 2003, providers have struggled under Medicare’s competitive bidding program; now, as 2021 rates take effect, experts project a 20% increase in revenues. Graham and Bello offer guidance so that providers can smartly invest their additional income for long-term success.

Graham and Bello’s recommendations are based on their decades of experience in HME billing, consultative, and executive roles. Their guidelines, which range from paying down high-interest debt and investing in your team to specializing and participating in industry events, aim to help providers operate their businesses better in a new, flourishing era.

“HME providers have operated in one way over the last 16 years: survival mode,” says Graham, the executive vice president and general manager at Prochant. He adds, “We can’t expect providers to thrive in our industry without guiding them through this important paradigm shift.”

Ty Bello, chief executive officer at Team@Work, LLC, agrees. He explains, “A successful HME industry works together for the greater good of its customers.” Bello continues, “By learning from the industry’s thought leaders, you gather the tools necessary to become a better provider.”
