ResMed's Brightree Widens ReSupply Solution Usage for HME
Read MoreHide Full Article
Brightree, a wholly owned subsidiary of ResMed, Inc. (RMD - Free Report) , recently announced an expansion of its patient contact management solution, ReSupply, formerly known as ConnectPRO. Per news, this ReSupply solution for home medical equipment (HME), which traditionally used to cater to only sleep therapy patients, has now been stretched to support additional categories including incontinence, diabetic and enteral segments.
The extended usage of this solution will result in broadening the customer base of Brightree, thereby boosting the company’s HME business. ResMed stated that HMEs’ service to a wide range of medical supply patients can now benefit from Brightree ReSupply solution.
Notably, Brightree ReSupply is a scalable and automated solution that includes live-agent inbound and outbound calls for more personal engagement with patients as well as email reminder capabilities.
According to the company, this solution will help HME providers seamlessly fill up resupply orders, enable patients to achieve a long-term therapy adherence, meet payer requirements, reduce denials, improve overall resupply revenues and revenues per order as well.
In this regard, the company noted that its ReSupply integrates well with other Brightree software. In other words, HMEs can now use Brightree technologies across nearly every aspect of business operations.

It provides workflow insights and facilitates KPI (Key Performance Indicator) tracking plus peer benchmarking without requiring users to aggregate the data themselves.
The launch of this platform aligns with the company’s goal of allowing HME providers to make smarter business decisions for revenue cycle management, business operations and resupply programs so that they can attain better patient outcomes.
