WHO WE ARE:

The New York Medical Equipment Providers Association (NYMEP) was organized in 1991 as a statewide professional association for providers, manufacturers and distributors of home medical equipment. The Association represents over 160 companies throughout New York State and is committed to provide timely information, communication and education on Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, state and federal regulations and legislation affecting the HME industry. NYMEP is the ONLY statewide HME association in New York State. NYMEP continues to provide a strong, unified voice for its members in an effort to affect adverse regulatory and legislative issues at both the federal and state level.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:

NYMEP's mission is to advance the HME service industry in New York State through the promotion of ethical practice, standards of quality assurance and activities which support the economic viability and growth of its members.

PUBLIC POLICY, REGULATION & REIMBURSEMENT:

• NYMEP works closely on the federal level, staving off proposals such as competitive bidding and providing input for federal policymakers on sound public policy.
• NYMEP established an agreement with the Department of Health on a MRA (Maximum Reimbursement Amount) fee schedule for most HME products during 1998 and continues to work with DOH on rate/coding issues.
• NYMEP represents its members’ interests on numerous issues such as Medicaid prior approval and Medicaid/Medicare dual eligibility.
• NYMEP successfully implemented EMEVS system for electronic prior authorizations, reducing administrative burdens on all NYMEP members.
