MIAMI – Independent Living Systems, a provider of health care and social services to complex populations in the Medicare, Medicaid and dual-eligible markets, is now licensed as a home medical equipment provider. The license, which was granted by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration and which is good for two years, allows the company to provide a wider range of HME, including respiratory therapy equipment, hospital beds and mobility aids. "We are thrilled to be able to offer these additional services to our patients," said Nestor Plana, chairman and CEO of Independent Living Systems. "Our goal has always been to provide the best possible care to those in need, and this license will enable us to do just that." Independent Living Systems has also achieved accreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC). The company says it provides “a comprehensive range of turnkey payer services to managed care organizations and health care providers that support high-cost, complex populations.” It owns and operates Florida Community Care, the state’s only statewide Medicaid long-term care provider service network, and Florida Complete Care, a Medicare Advantage special needs plan for people who live in a nursing home, assisted living facility or at home and have complex health issues that require more coordinated and comprehensive care.
