January 23, 2004
SANTA BARBARA, CA. - Confirming its commitment to support homecare providers in their efforts to deliver quality patient care, Inogen, Inc. announced today that it has joined the American Association for Homecare. Santa Barbara-based Inogen has developed a revolutionary new oxygen concentration device that could have a dramatic impact on the oxygen therapy industry. The American Association for Homecare is a respected lobbying organization that maintains a strong presence on Capital Hill to represent the needs of the homecare industry and the millions of patients for which it cares.
"Inogen is delighted to join with the many other manufacturers that support the American Association for Homecare," said Bob Fary, Vice President of Sales at Inogen. He continued, "AA Homecare is at the forefront of the effort to champion appropriate reimbursement and coverage guidelines for home medical equipment, thereby ensuring consumer access to necessary equipment and services. We look forward to participating in this process."
Fary and other leaders at Inogen believe it is important for the company to become actively involved in industry efforts to educate lawmakers on the value of homecare. Inogen has assembled a team of experienced health care entrepreneurs, skilled technologists, well known clinicians and home healthcare veterans to develop innovative solutions to respiratory home healthcare challenges. Inogen's team is passionate about their mission and committed to serving the unique needs of respiratory patients and providers.
"The homecare industry is facing new policies and reimbursement levels that will challenge manufacturers and providers in their efforts to serve the growing population of homecare patients," said Kathy Odell, CEO at Inogen. "In order for beneficial new technologies such as Inogen's to reach the patient, we need to get lawmakers in Washington to recognize the value of homecare. Supporting AA Homecare is one way we can contribute to that goal."
