When discharging a patient from the hospital, you have a partner in Sterling Medical Services. We can assist you in navigating the complex reimbursement issues relating to medical supplies used in the home for the numerous insurance plans that you service.

These reimbursement issues go away because Sterling accepts most insurance plans throughout the country. In addition, we have been serving the home nursing agency market for years. We understand PPS and can walk you through all the requirements concerning PPS to ensure that your patient gets the supplies they need.

We are a PARTICIPATING Medicare Provider, so we don’t pick and choose which products to send your patients. That means we have agreed to accept assignment for all items and services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries. Accepting assignment means accepting Medicare's approved amount as payment in full, subject to any deductibles or co-pay.

We know that some of your Medicare patients have a very hard time trying to get their supplier to provide certain products due to reimbursement issues, but at Sterling we carry over 8,000 products so they don’t have to worry. We are also the leading provider of medical supplies to the managed care market and participate with hundreds of plans nationwide. To find out if we are participating with your patient’s plan go to Participating Plans and enter the information.
