So how do you
interview and become confident who you choose will be looking out for your best
interests? By nature we trust people and
feel that anyone in the medical profession is certified, professional and is in
the business of helping others. After
doing a little research you will find that these practices are businesses, and
with the changes in funding/insurance; each business has to decide where they
will cut costs to ensure survival. Not
unlike your Surgeon, they bill you or your insurance for a completed service using
codes created by the insurance industry. The Doctor/Business has to determine
when they replace your knee, do they replace it with the best quality product,
or do they use a lesser product to allow for a profit with the reduction in
what insurance companies are reimbursing for services?
You must interview your provider, ask them what brands of
equipment do they offer, what services do they provide, do they offer a showroom
where you can see, touch and feel the products? If I were paying privately is
there different options available? Can I upgrade to something better if my
Insurance only offers a certain product? Do they come to your home? Will they consult
with your physician and medical professionals taking the team approach to determine
what is the equipment/services based on your specific needs?
Since 1992, Active Mobility Center has adopted the approach
that we are providing equipment and services to ensure increased function and
independence. This part of our mission and vision to ensure that our business
continues to ensure that the customer is taken care of. Much of our advertizing
budget goes into continuing to provide the highest quality products and
services to our customers. If you have questions or comments, you can contact Carey Britton.
