Procurement & Compliance FAQs
Q: What is the main structural difference between the FHC-7200 and FHC7200-31 models?
A: The FHC7200-31 features an extra-wide 31-inch mattress deck and a 36-inch overall frame width (compared to the standard 27-inch deck and 34-inch overall width on the FHC-7200), providing extra lateral room for larger or bariatric patients.
Q: How does the retractable 5th wheel improve attendant steering?
A: The 5th wheel lowers to act as a fixed central pivot point during straight-line corridor transport, preventing the stretcher from swinging wide during turns and retracting smoothly when lateral maneuvering is required in tight rooms.
Q: Does EnhDme-Pro bill insurance or Medicare directly for medical equipment?
A: No. EnhDme-Pro is a direct-pay B2B wholesale distributor and does not submit claims to Medicare or private insurance plans. Purchases are invoiced directly to healthcare facilities, ambulatory centers, and commercial buyers.
