ORLANDO, Fla. – Gilgal Medical Supplies will no longer accept insurance for medical supplies. The decision, effective immediately, comes after years of increasing challenges associated with insurance reimbursement processes. "Providing durable medical equipment and supplies for thousands of patients has always been at the core of our mission," said Thomas Chacko, vice president. "However, the constant denials, excessive documentation requests, unnecessary audits, and recoupment efforts by Medicare and insurance companies have made the process untenable." Gilgal Medical Supplies has taken measures to ensure its current patients have ample time and support to transition to other providers. The company plans to focus on retail sales and wholesale distribution and continue providing high-quality medical supplies without the constraints and inefficiencies of the insurance reimbursement system. Gilgal, which also has locations in The Villages and Fort Myers, carries medical supplies, compression stockings, braces and scrubs, and DME like wheelchairs, hospital beds and rollators.
