May 21, 2019
To the patients of Low Country Home Oxygen,
We have been serving home oxygen and medical equipment patients in the low country since 1996. Medicare reimbursement has dramatically declined while regulations have dramatically increased over the last twenty-two years. The Medicare changes of the last several years and specifically the 50% reimbursement cut in July of 2016 have been burdensome to our company and our industry. As a business, we can longer bear the weight of this burden.
We have appreciated the opportunity to serve so many oxygen patients over the last two decades.
Unfortunately, we will no longer be able to operate in business after May 31, 2019.
We were striving to provide longer notice but circumstances will not permit us to continue forward with patient care. We do not plan to retrieve your oxygen equipment on May 31st. You should be able to continue to utilize our equipment for a period of time. However, please know that we will no longer be in business.
We will not be unable to provide service beyond May 31st.
You will need another oxygen provider for your oxygen and other medical equipment needs beyond May 31st.
You will need to contact your physician to make arrangements to change providers.
Respectfully yours,
Low Country Home Oxygen
