What You Should Know:
– Parachute Health, a platform for DME (Durable Medical Equipment) and HME (Home Medical Equipment) ordering, has announced a groundbreaking partnership to revolutionize the DME ordering process.
– The strategic collaboration aims to streamline ePrescribing, eliminate prior authorization burdens, and ultimately reduce costs for everyone involved.
Prior Authorization Headaches a Thing of the Past
The traditional DME ordering process is notorious for its time-consuming and frustrating prior authorization procedures. This often leads to delays in patient care, provider burnout, and overall dissatisfaction. Parachute Health’s new solution tackles this head-on by automating prior authorization directly within the prescribing process. This eliminates the tedious back-and-forth for providers, allowing them to focus on what matters most – their patients.
Transparency and Visibility for All
As the leading digital platform for DME and HME, Parachute Health empowers over 220,000 clinicians and 3,000 suppliers to deliver exceptional care. Their platform offers a clear advantage for health plans as well. Unlike the opaque fax-based systems of the past, Parachute Health provides real-time transparency into the ordering workflow for both healthcare providers and payers. This translates to a more reliable process for DME suppliers and ultimately, better care for patients.
Open Ecosystem: Freedom of Choice
Since 2016, Parachute Health has facilitated millions of patients in receiving the critical equipment and services they need. Their commitment to an open ecosystem ensures that DME/HME providers can maintain direct relationships with both clinicians and patients. This empowers patients and clinicians with the freedom to choose their preferred providers, while still allowing DME/HME businesses to retain control over their operations.

“Growing up in a healthcare family, watching my sister as a doctor, mom as a nurse, and family’s pharmacy, I witnessed firsthand how time-intensive and opaque the process was to obtain an authorization. I am excited to be streamlining the ordering and authorization process by partnering with payors and building the necessary cost-controls to eliminate the current administrative burden that all stakeholders face,” said David Gelbard, CEO and Founder of Parachute Health. “As Parachute continues to scale our revolutionary open e-prescribing platform nationally, it is exciting that we are now able to embed prior authorizations into the point-of-care ordering process. Our platform is a mission-driven solution that benefits all stakeholders – reducing costs for payors, liberating clinicians from burdensome processes, and freeing providers to focus on what matters most: caring for patients.”
