Whisper, It's no longer a secret! If you can tell the difference between Jobst, Sigvarus and Juzo beige compression hose and Bell-Horn’s new Whisper line without looking at the price, you will be the first person that we have met who can do so. Our certified compression fitters agree, from a quality, look, feel of fabric standpoint, there is virtually no difference between the standard products. Todd Katz, President of Bell-Horn explains the fabrics are “virtually the same” If you want to see a difference, look at the price.
At Medical Health Supply, Inc. you can order Bell-Horn Whisper stockings as of December 1st. Medical Health Supply continues to offer significant discounts on all Bell-horn orthopedic products and stockings. In our opinion, the Whisper product line is just one more example of how Bell-horn is breaking the price and quality barriers offered online.
Before internet, individuals needing durable medical supplies and equipment had to stand in line at Durable Medical Good Stores to purchase overpriced insurance grade quality products. Compression hose and other products are rationed by providers to meet insurance company guidelines rather than patients’ needs.
Many patients are allowed one pair of Relief grade gradient compression hose every 6 months. Most all insurance companies do not cover mild compression. The good news is that gradient compression purchased online costs less than the insurance offerings offered at local Durable Medical Supply Stores. Bell-horn’s low price cash and carry marketing strategy is brilliant.
Bell-Horn offers cash and carry prices, which are in most cases lower than co-pays. Even people with Insurance coverage save. By directly submitting receipts and prescriptions, individuals can sometimes save even more.
Can this true Last week, Medical Health Supply delivered a Bell-horn product that cost the customer $18.00. The customer called two local durable medical good stores prior to ordering online. He was quoted $75.00 and $90.00 for the same item. He explained that he had not had a job for six months, and did not have the means to purchase a product locally. He read the size charts online and purchased the perfect product without having to leave home.
In times when money is tight and healthcare reform is on the horizon, we must ask if our government and insurance companies are doing us many favors. We must use are eyes and let our fingers do the searching on the internet and save.
Compression stockings are generally good for 4 to 6 months before the compression gradient strength is compromised. Our fitters recommend buying one to wear and one to wash to insure compliance.
