Guys& Ladies,
I have been posting this for years, to the point where I get a ton of e-mail
saying yea we have got to do something to stop it.....and it is just like
the gas shortage, here we are years later saying remember when.
DJ is not the only company doing this there are an about 6-7 others and it
is your obligation to find out who they are and decide weather you choose to
support your competition or not (would you send a patient of yours to another
facility down the street) If you ask the companies if they do Stock & Bill
or any patient care by there reps they will tell you the truth, then make your
decisions.
A few years ago Ossur started a program which favored a some O&P companies
over others, only Because of the fall out and outcry of many did they stop
this practice.
This is the problem with our industry, We are unsophisticated & unorganized
as compared to other healthcare professionals, where everyone is pulling in
there own direction and not for the common goals of becoming an organized
profession.
Don't expect help from our organizations which survive on advertising &
meeting space to help you, as that would only reduce there revenues, and they are
trying to survive to.
Educated yourselves and make an informed choice who you want as competition.
Old & Frustrated
