Industry Trends and Drivers:
- Aging Population Drives Demand:
With the growing elderly population, there is a growing need for Durable Medical Equipment (DME). The prevalence of age-related disabilities and chronic diseases continue to rise which will lead to increased demands for hospital beds, wheelchairs, and oxygen equipment. Often, older adults need long-term care which means they require home-based DME solutions which creates ongoing demand. In addition to creating user-friendly designs for older adults and regulatory requirements, no pun intended, DME providers are also grappling with pressure from state payers to expand recently developed trends in DME coverage. The recent trends are putting additional emphasis on high-quality, widely accessed DME as a way to facilitate aging in place, and to help minimize and/or decrease hospital readmissions.
- Shift to Home Healthcare:
The growing preference for home care is driving DME utilization. Both patients and payers are choosing safe and efficient treatments for their conditions in a patient's home versus in-patient in a hospital, thus leading to an increased demand for ambulatory devices (e.g., CPAPs, nebulizers, mobility devices, etc.). Technological innovations around remote monitoring are also making home-based care a legitimate option. Provider are operating in a shifting marketplace and creating solutions for delivery and maintenance services; there is a demand for this. Not only does this highlight that there is a significant shift in care context happening across the marketplace toward more patient-centered, patient driven, decentralized models of care but that DME is uniquely positioned to be a critical facilitator of outpatient and post-acute levels of treatment.
- Reimbursement Challenges Impact Growth:
Reimbursement complexities remain one of the dominant forces in DME market manipulations. The stringent eligibility and documentation requirements that are constantly changing create complications for both providers and patients. Medicare and private payers have been articulately narrowing coverage, delaying authorizations, and lowering payment rates to suppliers, resulting in lower margins as an end result for the provider. The smaller provider is limited in their ability to mitigate the issues of access while large organizations are compelled to comply. In conjunction with increased demand, all of these complexities potentially limit the market growth of, and access to, innovative or high-cost equipment. All parties are calling for simplified processes that support equitable access to the DME that is SO desperately needed.
We explore the factors driving the growth of the market, including technological advancements, consumer behaviors, and regulatory changes, along with emerging durable medical equipment (DME) market trends.
