NEW YORK—Integra Partners, a durable medical equipment, prosthetic and orthotic supplies (DMEPOS) services company, announced the expansion of their relationship with DMEscripts, an e-prescribe platform focused on durable medical equipment (DME) ordering, through its Integra Partners Group Purchasing Organization (GPO).
"We recognize that providers are a critical part of the homecare ecosystem," said Michael Dorrie, VP of network expansion and partnerships at Integra Partners. "Their position on the frontlines often forces them to bear the brunt of industry challenges, such as the change health care disruption. Integra is committed to helping providers deliver community-based care, which is contingent upon hearing and responding to their concerns and needs in the ever-changing (home medical equipment) landscape. Partnering with DMEscripts to offer discounted pricing for our providers is one of the many ways we aim to support our provider community."
Integra Partners GPO aims to make various products and services available to DMEPOS providers at discounted rates. Through the partnership, DMEscripts plans to offer participating Integra Providers a 10% discount on their e-prescribing platform. Integra said it considers GPO services crucial for supporting providers and ensuring members have access to competent care in their communities to the benefit of prescribers, providers, payers and patients.
"From day one, our industry-backed approach has equipped us to sign the strongest DME providers in the country,” said John Brady, CEO of DMEscripts. “Taking this step equips us to double down on our mission—focusing on patients and providers over paperwork—to improve the delivery of care while reducing costs for the industry."
