Patients prefer physician-provided durable medical equipment over third-party vendors: a patient satisfaction survey
Conclusions:
Patients receiving their DME in the office from their physician were significantly more likely to prefer using the in-office setting again and reported fit-scheduling to be easier when compared with patients using a third-party vendor. DME can be provided by physicians in the office setting without negatively impacting patient satisfaction.
Level of Evidence:
Level II.
