Greetings!

We have enclosed in this newsletter an important announcement from the Home Medical Equipment Dealers Association (HMEDA) of British Columbia regarding QUOTES FOR THIRD PARTY PAYORS (NOT the Ministry). Please read the letter for full details.

We have organized a "Post REE" circuit training inservice on November 16th, 17th and 18th so that you can learn more about key new products.

A photo of our successful October 15th Dress for the Cause event is attached. Not a cookie was left over!

Make sure to mark our Christmas Luncheon in your calendar today.

We look forward to providing you with useful information throughout the year. Please contact us at any time if you have any comments, questions or topics you want covered by an inservice by emailing kim.mackie@selfcarehome.com.
HMEDA - Misuse of Dealer's Proprietary Work Product and Effect on Future Quotation Preparation

November Inservices - New Products

Motus WheelchairFollowing up from the REE, please join us for a "circuit" lunch. There will be 3 stations set up throughout the store to offer a comparison and an in-depth look at some new products.
  • Lightweight Wheelchairs: Motus, Catalyst4 plus the Quickie2 Lite and Helio will be on hand for comparison
  • Seating: Lunar Back and MaTRx seating for comparison; the Hybrid Elite and J3 with Air to review
  • Other: Heel Products - Heelzup, Maxxcare Air Heel Protector; New Aquatec products; New Standers products
Please RSVP so we have enough food and handouts for everyone. In "circuit" fashion, just drop by anytime between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm. Go to the stations you want to see.  Every 20 minutes a short inservice at each station will cover products simultaneously. You can decide which of the 3 stations you want to visit - and attend the inservice for those products only, or visit all 3.
