Peer Reviewed designation

For years, orthopedic practices have navigated fragmented, inflexible, and technology-light systems that claim to simplify workflows yet often create additional operational friction. Breg Vision’s Peer-Reviewed status underscores the difference between platforms that merely address the basics and those engineered to elevate practice performance.

Breg Vision doesn’t just support DMEPOS operations; it transforms them. The platform is built through extensive voice-of-customer input, resulting in software that adapts to the way practices work rather than forcing staff to adjust to the limitations of legacy tools. In a landscape where many vendors offer minimal customization or outdated functionality, Vision delivers the flexibility, sophistication, and ongoing innovation modern practices expect.

With advanced capabilities like Vision Clarity, which automates benefits verification and delivers real-time out-of-pocket estimates, Breg Vision continues to set the pace for innovation in the category. Practices operating on older, manual, or partially integrated systems are increasingly moving to Vision to achieve the accuracy, efficiency, and visibility required in today’s environment.

Breg reinforces Vision with enterprise-grade security, including SOC 2 Type 2, MFA, and SAML 2.0. This investment reflects a level of data protection that many smaller or less mature vendors are not equipped to deliver.

Most importantly, Breg Vision is backed by the industry’s most comprehensive customer-success infrastructure. No other company offers this depth of partnership. Built over more than two decades, our model spans program design, workflow optimization, clinical implementation, ongoing operational support, and a national field team known for building lasting relationships. This level of expertise and hands-on support simply doesn’t exist elsewhere in the DMEPOS space, and it remains the defining advantage that sets Breg Vision apart.

“Having spent my career across this space, I know what the market offers, and what it lacks. What we are building with Breg Vision is different. It’s smarter, more adaptable, and backed by the strongest customer support infrastructure in the industry. Earning the AAOE Peer Reviewed designation reinforces what I hear from customers every day: Breg Vision is the platform of choice for practices that refuse to settle for ‘good enough.'” Steve Ingel, President, Breg, Inc.

NAPLES, Fla., March 1, 2023 –  HealthMe and Breg, Inc., an orthopedic bracing and billing company, announced today the launch of a direct-pay eCommerce engine that will enable orthopedic providers to easily capture patient payments for the company’s line of cold therapy devices. Breg selected HealthMe, the market leader in orthopedic direct-pay solutions, to power the eCommerce engine.

The new partnership signals the increasing importance of providing patients with a consumer-centric digital shopping experience. Breg seeks to transform the decades-old purchase process from a manual, paper-based method to a streamlined and automated experience. This will help ensure that patients receive vital rehabilitation and recovery equipment quickly and securely, while improving efficiency for medical practice staff.

Additionally, streamlining the process will increase patient access to cold therapy modalities, particularly Breg’s Polar Care Wave cold and compression system. Clinical studies demonstrate that the combination of cold therapy and compression results in improved pain relief and a greater likelihood of reducing narcotic use than cold therapy alone¹.

“Our mission is to create customized, interconnected commerce programs that fit the needs of each individual patient and physician. By partnering with HealthMe, we are creating remarkably easy solutions that give valuable time back to providers and patients, enabling them to focus on what is most important — healing and recovery,” said Breg CEO Kevin Hobert.

“We are honored to partner with Breg to help usher in innovations in eCommerce and digital health payment solutions,” said Michael Havig, MD, CEO, HealthMe. “We are completely aligned with Breg’s mission, which emphasizes getting the right rehabilitation equipment to patients with a streamlined workflow, giving physicians and their staff more time to care for their patients, instead of doing unnecessary paperwork. Our combined proficiencies have helped create the standard for a consumer-friendly digital payment experience. This agreement represents the continuation of HealthMe’s ongoing market share expansion with many leading independent orthopedic practices and clinics.”
