Profiles of business software developers & a list of the top HME/DME software and service providers
by Russ Willcutt

In recent years, advances in technology have led to business software systems that are not only diagnostic, but predictive. Millions of man-hours have been saved by automating processes that were once handwritten on paper and transmitted via standard mail or fax. Today, business systems can be linked to join purchasing functions with inventory management. Accounts receivable data can be analyzed to determine logjams in your cash flow, and inventory levels can be examined to help establish stock level caps and even trigger automatic purchase orders. Specially designed software can help business owners enter exciting new markets, such as equipment rental, and do so in an organized and successful manner. And the learning curve once associated with technology of this nature has been reduced thanks to user-friendly systems that are easy to learn and update. So the question is no longer whether you can afford the latest business technology … but how can you be without it?

20 Years of Software Innovation
In 1991, Stuart and Jeff, our owners, met over the backyard fence and began developing what is now CPR+. When the business got started our “business plan” was to build full-featured, user-friendly software and treat customers like we’d want to be treated.
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 20 years since we implemented our first customer, and today over 1,200 HME, home infusion and specialty pharmacies rely on CPR+. As we reflect on 20+ years serving some of the best homecare providers in the country, we’d like to say THANK YOU!
Thank you to our employees for their hard work, energy and passion—we could not do it without each of you—and thank you to our customers for the trust you place in our software and support services. We do not take your business for granted and we still treat customers like we’d want to be treated.
With CPR+ and our suite of integrated mobile products, you can work where, when and how you want and still own and have full control over your data. With robust bar code reading and GPS capabilities, Delivery Plus lets you manage deliveries in the field and update CPR+ in real time. Our Web Portal app will turn your sales reps into rock stars and lets your RT’s perform equipment checks and assessments in the field.

DME/HME Electronic Claims & Billing Windows Software
In 1989, Noble House created Noble*Direct software, with two goals in mind--to design a software with functional, operational and analytical capabilities, and to become known as the best, top notch technical support team in the industry. Noble House has achieved both!

Noble*Direct is a fully functional billing and claims management windows software. Our software helps DME/HME companies manage their business by providing detailed reports for performance analysis and creating strategies for future growth and expansion.

Increased governmental regulations and competitive pressures demand well-designed operational software for peak productivity, cash flow and profits. Therefore, Noble*Direct was designed with approved HIPAA Electronic Claims, ERN Posting, Custom Physician Orders, CMNs, Repeat Billing, Document Image Scanning, Real-Time Patient Eligibility, Patient Scheduling and more to ease that pressure and increase office productivity.

Why is Noble*Direct Rated as the #1 Choice for DME Software?
-Ease of Use-DME providers should spend their time providing optimal service to their clients.
-DME software should be simple and easay to learn. Training new billing personnel becomes a quick, painless process which, in most cases, can be achieved in a matter of hours rather than days or weeks.
-Fully Functional Operational and Analytical Capabilities--Our solutions can help to properly manage your business, providing operational guidance, a vision of past performance as well as strategies for future growth and expansion. Without such essential resources, today's provider conducts business in the dark, not fully understanding the company's role or place.
-Proactive Technical Support and Service-Lengthy wait times for call-backs should be a thing of the past. Noble House clients experience fresh and creative solutions from our experienced, well-informed technical support personnel in the most timely manner possible.
