Rollator Walker or Lightweight Transport Wheelchair??? Why Not Both In 1 Unit!!

People always ask me about Rollator Walkers and my answer is always 'They are great!'  They truly are, they are the best selling piece of medical equipment.  When walking starts to fatigue an individual and they need so extra stability a Rollator Walker solves almost all issues.  When a person walks with the Rollator it gives them a sense of security with their hands gripping on the handles and the wheels gliding smoothing over the terrain.  If the person starts to fatigue they can simple stop, engage the brakes and turn around and have a seat.  Once their strength returns, they are up and walking down the road.  Another reason the Rollator is a great piece of medical equipment is that it comes in a variety of colors, instead of a plain walker with wheels which is grey and looks institutional.   The walker with wheels also lacks a seat so once you are fatigued you still have to make it to the nearest bench or chair.  The only problem with the Rollators are that I am forever seeing people sit in the rollator properly and then someone is behind them using it as a wheelchair!  STOP!!!  That is so dangerous!  It is not meant to be used like that and it will lead to a fall.

So that brings me to the Lightweight Transport Wheelchair?  This is another great piece of equipment, and unlike the Rollator, this actually is made to use to push someone around in.  The Transport wheelchair weighs in at less than 20 pounds making it perfect for anyone who has to lift it to and from their vehicle.  The back of the seat folds down, the leg rests come off and the chair folds almost completely flat.  Only downfall to this product is if someone has the ability to walk but needs a little extra stability, all they can do is ride.  But what if you could have all the advantages to both of these items in one piece of medical equipiment??  Now you can!  The Lumex Hybrid Rollator Transport Wheelchair!

Best of both worlds!  You can walk with it as a rollator walker and when you become fatigued instead of just sitting and waiting you can be pushed SAFELY as it becomes a wheelchair!  This is truely, in my opinion, the best piece of medical equipment for the person who is still able to walk on their own but just needs a little help when fatigued.  When you look at the cost of a rollator $75 and the cost of a lightweight transport wheelchair $125.  The Hybrid Rollator is a steal at $160.   If you have any questions feel free to comment here or email us at info@reylandmedical.com or you can always call us at (844) 244-0240.

Bad News for Medicare Beneficiaries in Rural Areas!

CMS barrels forward with bidding, bundling

WASHINGTON – CMS’s plan to expand competitive bidding pricing and implement bundled monthly payments for certain HME is a mixed bag of positives and negatives, industry stakeholders say.

Biggest loser: rural areas

In a July 2 proposed rule, the agency outlines plans to apply competitive bidding prices in non-bid areas by using regional prices limited by a national ceiling (110% of the average of regional prices) and the floor (90% of the average of regional prices).

“Until they calculate the ceiling and the floor, it’s tough to say much about this,” said Kim Brummett, senior director of government affairs for AAHomecare. “But it will be a huge hit in rural areas.”

With 45% cuts, on average, as part of Round 2, the regional prices will likely mean big cuts for providers in rural areas even at 110% of the average of regional prices, stakeholders say. To boot: Providers in rural areas are less likely to see volume increases from the program, due to the demographics of the areas they do business in.

In its comments to an advance notice of proposed rulemaking published in February, AAHomecare argued that pricing for HME in rural areas should receive an add-on, much as it does for home health.

“No rural add-on and average bid rates that were wrong—it just doesn’t add up,” Brummett said.

Stakeholders bristle at the idea of using competitive bidding pricing, in general, for anything going forward.

“We believe the methodology is flawed to begin with and the rates are unsustainable,” said Tom Ryan, president and CEO of AAHomecare.

The agency plans to apply expanded competitive bidding pricing Jan. 1, 2016.

Testing the waters with bundling

CMS also outlines plans to phase in bundled monthly payments for enteral nutrition, oxygen, standard manual and power wheelchairs, hospital beds, CPAP devices and respiratory assist devices furnished in no more than 12 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs).

“At least it’s a demo,” Brummett said. “The big question: What is the rate going to be?”

The MSAs chosen for the demo would have a general population of at least 250,000 and a Medicare Part B enrollment population of at least 20,000 not already included in Round 1 or 2.

Stakeholders worry what bundled payments will do to patient and quality outcomes, for some products more than others.

“When you’re talking about CPAP, compliance is important, and at the end of the day, you have to make sure you have outcomes,” Ryan said.

The agency plans to implement bundled monthly payments, which would cover equipment, supplies, accessories and any necessary maintenance and repairs, Jan. 1, 2015.

CMS will accept comments on the proposed rule until Sept. 2. It expects the rule to appear in the July 11 Federal Register.

Medical Equipment saves Medicare money, study says

WATERLOO, Iowa – Medicare sees significant cost savings when it preserves spending on home medical equipment, according to a new study unveiled at The VGM Group’s Heartland Conference this week.

The study, conducted by Brian Leitten of Leitten Consulting, found, for example, that for every $1 that Medicare pays for mobility equipment, it saves $16.78 in treatment for avoided falls.

“The message is clear: HME does save Medicare money and helps beneficiaries live where they want to be—at home,” said John Gallagher, vice president of government relations for VGM, in a press release.

Other examples from the study: For every $1 Medicare spends on supplemental oxygen therapy, it saves $9.62 in treatment for COPD-caused medical complications; and for every $1 Medicare spends on CPAP therapy, it saves $6.73 for the treatment of OSA-related complications.
