Welcome to February! As we dive into 2025, I’m thrilled to share some exciting updates and insights with you. This month, we’re tackling some big topics, including the ever-mysterious world of tariffs and the uncertainties they bring. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back.

First up, let’s talk about our latest playbook, Forecasting 2025. This isn’t just any playbook; it’s packed with wisdom from the brightest minds in our industry. Here’s a sneak peek:

Industry Outlook and Innovations: VGM Group CEO Jeremy Stolz give us a roadmap for success and explores the transformative potential of our industry.
Reimbursement, Legislation, and Compliance: Ronda Buhrmester, Dan Fedor, Wayne van Halem, and Mike “Ike” Isaacson dive into the critical topics shaping our regulatory landscape. It’s a must-read for staying ahead of the game.
Cybersecurity and Technology Trends: Ryan Wood and Willie Zhang share crucial insights into evolving cybersecurity threats and the importance of robust security measures. Plus, hear from a VGM member who survived a cyber breach and learn about tech-driven solutions from our vendor partners.
Marketplace Opportunities and Disruptions: Craig Douglas and Alan Morris tackle challenges from provider networks and give us an overall outlook on the DME industry.

To be successful in 2025, it’s crucial to look at business differently and really analyze the services that help your business and employees focus on what they do best. Here are some key strategies:

AI and Technology: Embrace the power of AI and technology to streamline operations and enhance productivity.
Outsourcing: Consider outsourcing non-core activities to free up your team’s time for what they do best.
Revenue Cycle Strategies: Employ our Revenue Cycle Strategies team to look under the hood and find money you might be leaving on the table.
Training and Development: Connect with VGM Education to help establish CEU standards and ensure your team is always learning and growing on our robust platform built for you.
Strategic Growth: Purchase VGM Market Data (it’s always evolving) to give you a roadmap to referrals and make informed business decisions.
Digital Strategies: Engage with VGM Forbin to optimize your online presence and get strategic with your customer database.

We also have exciting news about our recent acquisition of SleepGlad. We’re taking this opportunity to shape it for our members and add it to our VGM Comprehensive Sleep Services, which is a first-of-its-kind, all-encompassing program across the entire sleep journey of a patient.
