Rotech to Expand Managed Care Business

ORLANDO, Fla.–Rotech Healthcare has announced that it will be
putting more resources into developing the company’s managed care
business.

The announcement came as part of a strategic plan released last
week, which explained that the company “expects to grow [this part]
of the business at a higher rate than its Medicare business.”

Rotech also said it would pursue small acquisitions and expand
its base of respiratory therapists. It also has restructured its
sales force of about 400 employees to commit “more time to selling
and less time to hiring and training new employees,” the company
said.

Rotech provides equipment in 48 states through approximately 500
branches located principally in non-urban markets.
