The Parachute Platform Difference

Parachute Health’s existing end-to-end integration across the entire value chain - from provider EHRs through to supplier RCM systems.
Our partnerships with major Health Systems, EHRs, DME Suppliers, and Supplier RCM systems allow us to have unprecedented access with automated insights.
Clinicians enter orders into their existing EHR and they flow through the Parachute Platform and into DME Suppliers’ RCMs seamlessly.

Providers and Suppliers have already chosen our ecosystem, leading it to be rolled out across the U.S. and ready for payers to influence rather than shifting or changing stakeholder workflows.

Most traditional ways of managing DME are focused on provider friction and manual intervention as part of the prior authorization. The Parachute Platform creates the same outcomes in a provider-friendly way at the point of order entry.
New entrants are focused on intercepting orders to manually enforce and create benefit adherence which delays patient care, restricts provider choice, and hurts quality - even when it’s not necessary.
