Solutions for Home Health Agencies

Our mission is to provide innovative solutions that ensure patients get the care they need in the comfort of their homes.

We are focused on delivering the products and services that matter when caring for patients in the home. Byram Healthcare’s Home Health Program offers specialized programs that control cost, while improving outcomes and increasing patient and staff satisfaction.

Beyond a broad product selection, we also provide clinical tools and educational support which you can find on our Wound, Ostomy, Urology, Incontinence, and Diabetes therapies.

With extensive experience navigating managed care requirements, Byram helps simplify supply ordering so clinicians can spend less time on insurance complexities and more time caring for patients.

Insurance Capabilities that Support Home Health Patients

Your agency could stop paying for medical supplies that are billable to patients’ insurance. With our direct insurance contracts, Byram provides in-network access to ~90% of U.S. covered lives. We remove the complexities associated with medical supply coverage for your non-Medicare patients and improve the agency's bottom line.

Our comprehensive clinician replenishment program allows an agency to eliminate the inherent overhead and inefficiencies of managing an onsite supply closet. Byram will work alongside your agency to build a customized kit that meets your needs. As clinicians utilize kit supplies in the field, they will place replenishment orders, which will be batched and shipped according to agency protocol. Byram also offers a ship to clinician’s home program. Byram captures all supply cost by patient for agency reporting and billing purposes.
