In this episode of IM: Unfiltered, Lindy Tentinger (President, VGM & Associates) and Ike Isaacson (SVP of Government & Regulatory Relations, VGM Group) sit down with Joel Gallion, CEO of Bellevue Healthcare in Washington, for a candid conversation about the urgency of advocacy in the home health and DME industry.

They unpack the real risks behind new payer and TPA models reshaping care delivery — from sole sourcing and network restrictions to the erosion of quality and competition — drawing a stark parallel to what the PBM model did to independent pharmacies.

Joel shares how Bellevue Healthcare went from advocacy bystanders to active champions of change through their state association PAMES, and why he believes the time to act is now, not tomorrow. Whether you're a large supplier or a small independent provider, this episode is a call to step up, get involved, and own your role in shaping the future of the industry.
