The HME industry has seen significant consolidation over the past several years. In today's environment, investors and suppliers interested in purchasing your business are no longer willing to take on significant risk. As part of the due diligence process, they are performing claim audits and compliance assessments that often result in errors or issues being identified that could negatively impact the valuation of your company and in the worst of cases, put the whole deal in jeopardy. Investors make compliance a determining factor in their valuations.
