Gilgal Medical Supplies Transitions Business Model: No Longer Accepting Insurance for Medical Supplies

Gilgal Medical Supplies, a leading provider of medical supplies in Florida with locations throughout the state, has announced a strategic change in its operations. Effective immediately, the company will no longer accept insurance for medical supplies. This decision comes after years of increasing challenges and systemic difficulties associated with insurance reimbursement processes.

"Providing durable medical equipment and supplies for thousands of patients has always been at the core of our mission," said Thomas Chacko, Vice President at Gilgal Medical Supplies. "However, the constant denials, excessive documentation requests, unnecessary audits, and recoupment efforts by Medicare and insurance companies have made the process untenable."

For years, insurance companies have imposed increasingly burdensome requirements, often prioritizing their bottom line over patient care. This has created significant hardships for durable medical equipment providers like Gilgal Medical Supplies, affecting their ability to serve patients effectively. The intense administrative demands and frequent audits have reached a point where continuing to accept insurance is no longer sustainable.

Gilgal Medical Supplies has taken measures to ensure its current patients have ample time and support to transition to other providers. "We remain deeply committed to our patients and their well-being," said Thomas Chacko. "We are working diligently to provide them with the necessary resources and guidance during this transition."

Moving forward, Gilgal Medical Supplies will focus on retail sales and wholesale distribution. This new direction will allow the company to continue providing high-quality medical supplies without the constraints and inefficiencies of the insurance reimbursement system.

"We believe this shift will enable us to serve our customers more effectively and focus on delivering value directly to those who need it," added Thomas Chacko.

Gilgal Medical Supplies operates from strategic locations across Florida and we serve thousands of customers a month on a monthly basis.
