LUBBOCK, Texas; BELLEVILLE, Ill. — The MED Group and The ROHO Group have partnered on a service that will let clinicians prescribe ROHO's therapeutic support surfaces and cushions for their patients with orders to be filled through MED's national HME provider network.
Through centralized dispatch, the ROHO National Referral Fulfillment Network allows a discharge planner, case manager or other health care provider to order the company's products for patients as they are discharged.
"A discharge planner can work with the local ROHO representative so that she knows exactly what type of products will work best for her patients," said Rhonda Hines, MED's director of referral management, in a release. "And, with a dedicated referral network solution in place, she can be assured that the products she has chosen are the products that will be placed by a highly qualified, accredited provider."
The process will use MED's Web — enabled GoMEDEdge, which places referrals with providers in the network.
"The winners will ultimately be the end-use clients, who will now have more high quality choices to address their seating and support surfaces needs," said ROHO's Tom Borcherding, executive vice president of global sales.
MED Group has more than 370 providers representing more than 1,200 locations.
