[Anonymous]

With things crashing and burnuing in PA (managers disapearing for no reason, entire locations without employess, or no csr's etc.) Renee is no where to be seen (let the AMO take the fall or what?).

Bet that Unless The Crashing Halts soon, there will be no good pa. locations, except for one.
connecting the capitals will explain why.

That area will continue to crash! It will fail because the bulk of the LCM's now in place are the ones who allowed it to slide downhill by not following the basic principals of business - running their locations as a business. Hiding from the AM's what was really going on all these years. Let's face it, apathy will bring a business down everytime.

Another question to ask of these locations would be what have you done to adapt to the changes when you are a person down? Did you play Rotech and drag your heels when change was called for and needed?

With the revolving doors in some of them, can you blame her for not wanting to visit them.

You people speak of stuff you have no idea about. Speculation. Its time to pick on Pa now, lets see who we can burn.
Mgrs disappearing is quite common. One in particular had it coming
AM's can't do it all and RM's don't care. Just get it done.
Unless you have worked for this corp, just shut up. It was no picnic

Now come on! We all know that two of the last three AM's (not counting the currernt one)were busy taking care of their favorite LCM. I'd say that is doing it "all" for their favorite.

Most of the AM's lack the testicular fortitude to stand up to the bullying of the RM's.

I agree. That location brings home the bacon and is the flagship for Rotech in Pa..
Think we can all be happy for an early spring.

Putting aside any location that has growth due to CMS bid/s won, no location is a flagship due to the ongoing slim pickings at all the locations.

One or two employees at any given location does not equal success, unless of course you are going for the burned out employee award.

With the reported 45% reduction in CMS rates for the round two bidding process, quite a few DME's will be changing the way things are done.

One of Rotech location issues that brings them down, with so few employees , is carrying an inventory of items in their locations as if they are a big box store!

More focus needs to go for the items that will grow your location, not how many cane tips you can sell.

Selling cane tips and rolls of bandages does not normally grow a business.

Good luck for all seasons, not just the Spring.

All you say is true-in part.
Carrying and dispensing cane tips and otherwise items other dme's refuse does make your location a "sucker", but WHAT ELSE CAN THEY DO?
I doubt McFrugals worried too much about carrying abundance of choices.

Why have your driver & location employees spending time on a product that will not generate ongoing and much needed dollars for the bottom line? Anytime you have a PST out delivering such an item, the possibility of a future rental income item (O2, CPAP & etc) will sit and wait just a bit longer.

In some areas Rotech and their edge over the other DME's just may be their ability to get there first.

With some locations having more and more employees not being replaced as others leave it's time for a hard look at what is "value for dollar" in your location.

Think inventory time and how many locations send out those emails on what they are no longer going to carry. How many times has your location counted non rental items that you have not sold in months? The time alone your employees do not need to count such items saves dollars plus they will not feel as if they are wasting their time counting them.

Don't feel bad about not carrying such small items, most are carried by the big box stores or pharmacy in your area. Most are even carrying walkers now, including the grocery chain Aldi's.

DME will be killed once obama care kicks in,all these DME companies will pathetically try and find ways to make money. All the private insurance companys will just create more and more paperwork loop holes and compliance stuff to further kill cpaps.

So true. One of the larger CPAP Mfgr's in Western PA has been trying out their product via Pharmacy's. Even more competition for Rotech and other DME's.

DME across the board is changing...hang on for this roller coaster ride!

DME companies will be nothing more than hospice contracts at about $2/day for a house full of equipment. And there will be daily demands for deliveries w/out compensation.

I could see that happening, I don't how hospice is in other parts of the country but where I live its preety bad and their contracts aren't really worth the money your company will have to shell out to service their demands. Hospice is a non profit service to help the terminal ill people but hospice has its own host of problems including a very high turnover rate, their nurses are quite bitchy and mean because they probably get paid worse then even blotech employees. The bottom line is dme is dying and all these homehealth companies want service at a next to nothing cost, in the end you cannot run a industry that way. Truth is the government wants to get rid of the industry, they just think of more ways to make cuts.

I for one was ok with medicare ending the infinite billing on junky old 0xygen concentrators,true it did hurt DME but at the same time its wrong that companies were able to milk thousands off each patient for crappy concentrators. DME is and was a burden on the tax payers due to the abuse, most companies were too cheap to pay their employees anyway back when the gravy train of money was around. Good riddance to DME and their ridiculously overpaid corporate managers which took over all the mom and pop location that could not afford to get into bed with medicare and their accreditaion?

And of course there are those "select" dme company s who as a regular course of business, pay off the physician for 02 referrals. The abuse was MUCH worse w/out the cap. Now with the cap, they can't grease physicians and assisted living entities nearly as graciously.
Oh My! How I wish for the days of the Golden Commode.
