Medically Modern will open a new location in southeast Denver on Dec. 1 to expand its durable medical equipment services across the Front Range, HME News reported.
The move expands the company's presence in the West; it currently operates out of a base in New York. By establishing a physical presence in the Mountain West, the supplier aims to provide faster delivery for patients throughout Colorado and eventually toward the West Coast as its national contracts grow.
Specializing in continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), insulin pumps, and related diabetes supplies, the provider is already in-network with Health First Colorado, the state’s Medicaid program.
The expansion addresses a specific friction point in the healthcare supply chain where patients often struggle to coordinate between medical providers and insurance carriers. For many managing chronic conditions, the logistics of acquiring life-sustaining technology can become a secondary burden to the illness itself.
“We started Medically Modern because getting diabetes supplies through insurance was way harder than it should be,” Corey Deutsch, founder and CEO of Medically Modern, told HME News.
Deutsch said that patients frequently face a cycle of being “bounced between their doctor, their plan and a supplier that never picks up the phone.” The company’s model focuses on providing staff who understand specific insurance plans, explain costs upfront, and manage the necessary paperwork.
“We built the company we wished existed: real people who know your plan, explain your costs up front and handle the paperwork,” Deutsch told HME News.
While the company has been shipping supplies to Colorado residents for some time, the new Denver facility provides a physical “door to walk through” for the local community, HME News reported.
The opening comes at a time when the management of chronic metabolic diseases increasingly relies on sophisticated, interconnected hardware. As the demand for real-time glucose monitoring and automated insulin delivery grows, the role of specialized durable medical equipment suppliers becomes more central to patient outcomes.
The Denver location is scheduled to begin operations on Dec. 1.
