Saving Healthcare Budgets in the wake of COVID-19

The role of Chest compressions and CPR in chain of survival

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical practices and EMS agencies find themselves caught in a financial chokehold. Depleted workforces, burnout, rising costs, and the FDA’s PMA proclamation on defibrillators have reached a point no one can ignore. Supply chain issues are resulting in discontinuations and product delays. We are facing many of the same challenges alongside you and have worked with local and national EMS agencies to create solutions to save your facility money and meet the needs of your patients.

Our mission has remained the same: distributing professional devices and services to bring our customers the most value. We offer new and recertified capital equipment at cost-effective prices to save your budget. We work with our in-house biomed depot, ReNew Biomedical, to ensure your equipment meets the manufacturer’s standards with a warranty and is patient-ready. We offer extended service, warranty plans, and accessories to prolong your equipment’s life.

Recertified equipment is, on average, 60% of the cost of new. Your practice can save money while maintaining the same warranty and service level as new equipment. Each MME customer has a dedicated sales rep and account management team to offer quick, streamlined quoting, options, order fulfillment, and service. We ship and service worldwide and work with many OEMs to offer quality equipment and service at the best value. Our reps work within your budget and help you plan the best value for your funding.

We also make the most of equipment that’s no longer functioning. ReNew Biomedical never charges an intake fee; repair work only happens with your approval. If it’s unrepairable, MME can offer a plan to replace your equipment. ReNew works on almost any capital equipment on the market- even discontinued models.

Is a replacement item outside your budget or not in stock? No worries! Master Medical Equipment also has an in-house finance and rental company, JEM Financial, for short-to-long-term equipment rental solutions. Rentals are a great way to try multiple units before deciding on an upgrade, or as a short-term solution to train your staff. There is always a way with Master Medical Equipment and our partner companies!
