This company contacts elderly people with false promises of free diabetic supplies and durable medical equioment in attempt to gain permission to bill exorbitant prices (often well into the thousands) to Medicare and private insurance companies. Once permission has been obtained by a medicare enrollee, this company will hound their healthcare provider with continuous faxes until a certificate of medical necessity has been signed. This allows this company to bill maximum allowable amounts for medical equipment, such as $1500 for a back brace or $750 for a knee brace that could be obtained at a fraction of the price elsewhere.
It is currently illegal for companies such as this to make initial contact with customers. By law, a potential customer is required to make first contact before this company can market to them due to legal concerns about exploitative and/or fraudulent behavior by mail order medical supply companies billing medicare for unwanted supplies. This company walks right up to the line of what is right/wrong and leans across it. They have found a loophole by offshoring a large amount of their telemarketers, so that when a customer follows up, it appears to be initial contact. Their employees are advised not to tell potential customers actual costs associated with supplies and are instead advised to advertise them as 'little to no cost to you'. This is deceptive, plain and simple.
Furthermore, these supplies are marketed as 'brand new', but supplies that are returned are refurbished to a relatively low standard. The back brace or knee brace that might be sent out to a new customer may have been worn by several people before them.
