Limited by Medicare Laws, AOS Finds Alternative Means for Prospecting

AOS ships products in discreet packaging within one to four days, depending on whether it’s in stock and where the client lives. Whether the patients are living in their own homes or in assisted living facilities, adult children can arrange to have AOS ship the products directly to them.

While there occasionally are some processing fees, AOS ships most orders free because of Medicare regulations. Juenger says the free shipping even applies to non-Medicare clients because the federal guidelines mandate that companies can’t have two different pricing levels. The processing fees help make up for some of the lost shipping fees, but in general, “We just have to assume a lot of these costs,” she says.
