One way to achieve DME success is through streamlining billing processes, consistent payments, and little to no redundancies. Which brings up the question of how can you achieve that without sacrificing other areas of your business? By increasing your staff’s time and resources!
When you and your team can focus on other company areas, your business can make significant efforts at growing. Several options are available that help give additional time and resources back to your staff that doesn’t involve hiring a new employee.
DME Outsourcing & Your Staff
In an effort to achieve business success, many DME owners will begin looking into outsourced billing options. There’s a common misconception that outsourcing always results in downsizing your staff, but that’s incorrect. With the right DME billing company, they’ll work with you to achieve your billing goals, including your staffing goals. Read our past article, which discussed the Benefits of Outsourcing DME Billing to Improve Your Revenue, to learn if outsourcing is right for you.
Increasing Your Staff’s Time & Resource
Numerous articles are available online that teach you ways to incentivize and motivate your staff to improve their work efficiency and accuracy. Unfortunately, there are only so many tasks a single person can complete, and with the current job market, hiring a new staff member could prove to be more challenging than before.
There are other options available though, including:
- Automate specific workflows, if possible
- Provide flexible work hours for current employees
- Minimize internal communications (emails, memos, meetings)
- Implement more refined work processes
- Outsource items that are out of your staff’s scope or needs refining

It also gives you the flexibility to adjust or add additional services as it’s needed, especially during busier times of the year.
