Who is Dr. Comfort?
Founded in 2002, Dr. Comfort is currently the fastest-growing diabetic footwear provider in the United States and across the globe. Its huge success is owed largely in part to the creative genius and business knowledge of its founder, Rick Kanter. Rick grew up working in his father's footwear business, and eventually founded his own chain of footwear stores. These stores specialized in providing a wide range of styles, sizes, and widths for both the average and not-so-average foot.
After more than 20 years in the retail footwear industry, Rick sold his business and took a year off for some well-deserved rest and relaxation. It was during this time that Rick became aware of the dilemma faced by diabetics and their feet. Rick noticed that almost all of the footwear available for the diabetic foot was not only poor in quality, but that it also lacked another important factor… style.
Rick, with the help of podiatrists and certified pedorthists, founded Dr. Comfort and set about designing footwear to both fulfill the medical needs and exceed the fashion expectations of the diabetic patient. Rick and his team spent a year researching and developing proper medical lasts and eye appealing styles. The result was a product that was extremely well received by diabetics and their health care professionals not only for their feel and function, but also their overall look and quality.
Today, you can find Dr. Comfort shoes in all 50 states and abroad. You’ll find them on the diabetic foot as well as so many others. They’re perfect for anyone who suffers from any type of foot complication, or for those who simply need relief for their feet from the stresses of everyday life, and for those who just desire a really comfortable pair of shoes.
Dr. Comfort was founded upon and continues to honor the following principals:
- Total satisfaction of the wearer in the look, feel, and quality of the footwear.
- The use of top-quality natural materials in all of its footwear. Our shoes are made from the finest top-grain Texas leathers.
- Complete fulfillment of the needs of the diabetic foot: from the extra depth and design of the foot bed to the state-of-the-industry, on-site pedorthic laboratories.
- Belief that proper shoe fitting can alleviate, or even prevent, foot complications and deformities. All of Dr. Comfort’s distributors are trained in the shoe fitting process, and experts are on-site and available to help tackle the most difficult of foot issues.
- Continual improvement of every product from heel to toe, making it the best it can be; creating and recreating the gold standard of the industry.
- Maintain a positive impact on the daily lives of all its customers. Customer service, satisfaction, and comfort are top priorities.
What’s new at Dr. Comfort?
As part of our commitment to continually improve our product line, Dr. Comfort is pleased to present a new innovative, eco-friendly, comfortable line of socks, thus offering another line of defense for the diabetic foot. A technological masterpiece, these seamless, contour - fitted socks contain natural Nano Bamboo Charcoal in the heel and forefoot, which provides extra padding without bulk. Other benefits of bamboo charcoal include its ability to regulate foot temperature, promote blood circulation, restrain microbial growth, and adjust for moisture. The perfect diabetic sock, it comes in a variety of colors and styles and is loved by diabetics and non-diabetics alike!
What does Dr. Comfort offer pharmacies?
Increased recognition that the proper use of diabetic footwear will not only improve a patient’s overall heath outcomes, but also reduce future medical costs, has led many pharmacists to view Dr. Comfort shoes as a natural part of their services offered to the diabetic patient. Consistent, increasing reimbursement rates from Medicare and private insurance companies combined with the Dr. Comfort model has reinforced the business practicality of having diabetic footwear as a successful service for the properly trained pharmacist. Dr. Comfort’s shoes, heat moldable and custom inserts are all Medicare approved and reimbursable. Furthermore, Dr. Comfort’s gel inserts and socks serve as ultra-high quality, natural accessories to the shoes and inserts.
Based on these commitments to quality and service, it’s easy to see why Dr. Comfort has grown to be the leading diabetic shoe company in the industry. Additionally, all Dr. Comfort shoes and inserts are delivered in approximately four to six days, and 99% of all orders are shipped within 24 hours of order! Turnaround time for custom inserts, toe fillers and shoe modifications is seven to ten days from order, as the in-house laboratory works efficiently and promptly to process custom orders.
The Dr. Comfort sales model is designed to be not only user-friendly for pharmacists and their staff, but also to draw attention from patients and customers entering the pharmacy. This model is based on a simple, attractive fitting center and display rack. The Dr. Comfort fitting center carries up to 32 pairs of shoes and is sent containing every style and size that the company offers. This multi-purpose, attractive rack serves as fitting stock, sales display and solution to the problem of carrying a large inventory. Having a Dr. Comfort rack in the pharmacy enables customers to see, touch, and try on every style and size available. Once the patient has found a size and style to fit their needs, the order is sent in and the patient will be wearing their new shoes and inserts within a week!
What makes Dr. Comfort shoes different?
Dr. Comfort shoes are specially designed to fit the diabetic foot. They feature extra width and depth in the toe box and forefoot to relieve pressure from key areas of the foot.
Who are your shoes intended for?
Our shoes were originally designed for the diabetic patient; however, non-diabetics will also benefit from wearing our products.
What shoes are recommended for my foot condition?
Dr. Comfort manufactures several different styles of shoes designed for specific foot complications.
How do your shoes fit?
Dr. Comfort shoes are made according to the American Lasting Standards and should fit true to size. For more information, please contact your representative, or click on the links below for more information.

Integra, Inc.
Integra offers two dynamic solutions which streamline operations to create efficiency and alleviate some of the compelling operating pressures of market competition, reimbursement reductions / requirements, escalating costs and demand for value added services.
Within the current economic and reimbursement environment businesses can no longer operate as they once did, combing through cabinets of paper files to respond to payor, prescriber or customer requirements and inquiries. Though it sounds slight, the 3-5 minutes it takes to go to a file, copier or fax is wasted time and effort that will never be recovered.

Handling all this paper costs time and money, plus it interferes with effectively servicing customers.

With DocuTrack your pharmacy can:
- Reduce costs through the elimination of paper and paper-based processes while streamlining or centralizing your pharmacy operations.
- Increase productivity with instant access to all orders and the elimination or reassignment of paper related tasks while processing more orders per FTE and re-tasking staff to more important jobs.
- Improve customer service with no more lost faxes, fewer and shorter telephone calls and the ability to provide immediate responses to inquiries.
- Minimize errors with instant access to all orders, complete document history with one click and an intuitive workflow created specifically for your pharmacy.
DeliveryTrack
An innovative delivery solution specifically tailored to pharmacies managing their own delivery. With DeliveryTrack you can gain full control of your delivery process through:
- Electronic signature capture
- Real-time proof of delivery
- Full integration with DocuTrack
- Barcode scanning of delivery manifests

DeliveryTrack provides electronic signature capture for enhanced compliance and electronic tracking of returns for improved audit reports.

DME Overview
...from Medicare.gov 2010...
What is durable medical equipment?
Durable medical equipment is reusable medical equipment such as walkers, wheelchairs, or hospital beds.
Does Medicare cover durable medical equipment?
Anyone who has Medicare Part B can get durable medical equipment as long as the equipment is medically necessary.
When does Original Medicare cover durable medical equipment?
If you have Part B, Original Medicare covers durable medical equipment when your doctor or treating practitioner (such as a nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or clinical nurse specialist) prescribes it for you to use in your home. A hospital or nursing home that is providing you with Medicare-covered care can't qualify as your "home" in this situation. However, a long-term care facility can qualify as your home. Note: If you are in a skilled nursing facility and the facility provides you with durable medical equipment, the facility is responsible for this equipment.
What if I need durable medical equipment and I am in a Medicare Advantage Plan?
Medicare Advantage Plans (like an HMO or PPO) must cover the same items and services as Original Medicare. Your costs will depend on which plan you choose, and may be lower than Original Medicare. If you are in a Medicare Advantage Plan and you need durable medical equipment, call your plan to find out if the equipment is covered and how much you will have to pay.
...from Medicare.gov 2010...
...from Wikipedia 2010...
Durable medical equipment is a term of art used to describe any medical equipment used in the home to aid in a better quality of living. It is a benefit included in most Insurances. In some cases certain Medicare benefits, that is, whether Medicare may pay for the item. The item is defined by Title XIX for Medicaid:
The term "durable medical equipment" includes iron lungs, oxygen tents, Nebulizers, CPAP, catheters, hospital beds, and wheelchairs (which may include a power-operated vehicle that may be appropriately used as a wheelchair, but only where the use of such a vehicle is determined to be necessary on the basis of the individual's medical and physical condition and the vehicle meets such safety requirements as the Secretary may prescribe) used in the patient's home (including an institution used as his home other than an institution that meets the requirements of subsection (e)(1) of this section or section 1819(a)(1), whether furnished on a rental basis or purchased, and includes blood-testing strips and blood glucose monitors for individuals with diabetes without regard to whether the individual has Type I or Type II diabetes or to the individual's use of insulin (as determined under standards established by the Secretary in consultation with the appropriate organizations); except that such term does not include such equipment furnished by a supplier who has used, for the demonstration and use of specific equipment, an individual who has not met such minimum training standards as the Secretary may establish with respect to the demonstration and use of such specific equipment. With respect to a seat-lift chair, such term includes only the seat-lift mechanism and does not include the chair.

DME Train - EMPLOYEE TRAINING, SIMPLIFIED
Running a durable medical equipment business is time consuming and resource intensive.
Hiring and training competent employees is a substantial burden, and day-to-day operations suffer when excess time needs to be spent on employee development.
Employees are the number one asset a business has. However, most business owners minimize the amount of time and money that goes into formally training employees. Employees that are directly responsible for customer satisfaction and loyalty, i.e. customer service reps and delivery drivers, often receive the least amount of training.
By using DMETRAIN the time and effort needed to train competently will greatly decrease. Managers and administrators will be freed up to monitor and analyze the business for future growth instead of putting out the multiple fires that pop-up every day... |
