Competitive Bidding- R u asleep?

And the reimbursement reduction applies to 100% of MC orders effective 7/1/16

 

Why is everyone so surprised by this news? Haven't we all known for years that TSV positions were short term? This company is going down the tubes quickly. Customers no longer see anymore value to KCI than others on the market. It's all about $$$. It's not just the post acute reps on plan for cuts. Say goodbye to DCS and anyone else not selling.

 

I see in the near future acute reps and LifeCell reps merging. The stronger reps will survive. DCS and post acute will fade. It's inevitable.

 

Too bad most of the acute reps can't sell their way out of a paper bag.

 

Spoken like a post acute rep that couldn't cut it in the real world. How many organic orders are you taking credit for? None of us matter anyway. The customers no longer care what suction machine they get anyway. The technology is 20 years old for crying out loud. Just like my new $500 50inch flat screen TV. Prices are going DOWN, WAY DOWN.

 

Hey you get what you pay for. $20 an hour gets you exactly that.

 

Has KCI gotten clearance to provide Medicare orders yet?

 

Has this situation worked out? Can KCI fill these orders or just not in select bid markets?

 

KCI can deliver in every market. Billing and approval on the other hand is handled by a supplier in round 2 markets.
