| How soon and where can SunMed Medical Systems deliver a product?
We have National coverage and can typically deliver
within 24 hours of receipt of insurance verification
and authorization. Some larger and heavier products
such as institutional style bariatric and institutional
style enclosed bed systems may require a home assessment
prior to delivery.
Does SunMed Medical Systems “Balance Bill” patients?
We negotiate a fair rate with
the patient’s indemnity insurance carrier, or
worker’s compensation carrier, and bill only for
out of pocket and co-pay expenses that are dictated
by the individual’s insurance plan. In some cases
for government payor situations, however, there may
be additional payments due.
Does SunMed Medical Systems bill
Medicare B?
Yes.
However, because of the nature of our hospital-grade
products, Medicare B may not cover the full cost of
our specialty products. We will work with individual
patients to come up with the most cost-effective solution.
Will you speak to my health care provider if he/she
is unfamiliar with your product?
Absolutely. If a clinician is unaware
of one of our products, we can contact them directly
and provide them product information to help them better
understand how our therapies might help their patients.
Will you provide in-servicing to my health care provider?
In-servicing on our products is always
available, and we will visit with health care providers
involved with our equipment whenever it is requested.
Sometimes, it is a visit to a physician’s office
or to a hospital clinician. In most cases, however,
we are asked to provide in-servicing to a home health
nurse while they are in the patient’s home.
Does SunMed Medical Systems offer Continuing Education?
Yes. In fact, our newest program on Negative Pressure
Wound Therapy was just approved for 1 contact hour for
Clinical Case Manager credit. Contact us to arrange
for this program in your area. There is no charge for
these programs.
Will SunMed Medical Systems be attending any upcoming trade
shows?
Yes. While we always attend the
national CMSA conference, we also attend many regional
CMSA and other insurance related conferences throughout
the year. Please contact us directly for a list of upcoming
conferences or to invite us to support your local association.
