VGM Group continues to underscore the effectiveness and efficiency of the Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) industry and its critical role across the healthcare continuum. The services and support provided by DMEPOS suppliers not only enhance patient outcomes and strengthen community health, but do so in a cost-effective manner that delivers meaningful savings to the healthcare system.
As the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) intensifies its focus on combating fraud, waste, and abuse, VGM remains committed to elevating the outstanding work performed every day by reputable, mission-driven DMEPOS providers nationwide. VGM welcomes continued partnership with CMS to protect patients and uphold the integrity of gold-standard suppliers by rooting out bad actors who threaten trust in the system.

VGM also continues to amplify the real-world stories of DMEPOS providers making a difference in communities across the country, ensuring access to essential care while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and compliance.
During a recent U.S. House of Representatives Ways & Means Committee hearing on fraud, waste, and abuse, VGM was encouraged to hear acknowledgment of these concerns from industry champion, Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-IA), who stated, “I worry about how we can protect the providers who have long operated in good faith, upholding the highest levels of integrity, from losing their local footprints in our communities.”
VGM applauds Rep. Feenstra for recognizing the dedication and integrity of quality DMEPOS providers. And VGM looks forward to continuing the partnership to safeguard patients, support ethical suppliers, and ensure that communities retain access to trusted, local care.
