VGM’s playbook features articles that provide guidance on policy requirements as it relates to making business decisions. Content was created by VGM’s thought leaders and covers a number of areas including analyzing the proposed rule, new opportunities in competitive bid areas, upgrading to higher-level items beneficiaries are willing to pay for, oxygen and CPAP policy requirements and expanding into negative pressure wound therapy.

“As we prepare for some significant changes coming our way, this third installment continues our commitment to providing our community with tools, resources and expert analysis on ways providers can succeed in 2019 and beyond,” Geffert said.
