Our comprehensive clinician replenishment program allows an agency to eliminate the inherent overhead and inefficiencies of managing an onsite supply closet. Byram will work alongside your agency to build a customized kit that meets your needs. As clinicians utilize kit supplies in the field, they will place replenishment orders, which will be batched and shipped according to agency protocol. Byram also offers a ship to clinician’s home program. Byram captures all supply cost by patient for agency reporting and billing purposes.
