Historically, home respiratory care services have fallen into the category of durable medical equipment (DME), as defined by the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), as well as many other third party payment agencies. The increasing demand for home respiratory related products and services, along with the clinical and technological advances, warrants a more specific definition.
The MED Group’s National Respiratory Network accepts and promotes the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) official position statement governing home respiratory care services.
