In this episode of the Industry Matters Respiratory Edition, recorded live at VGM Heartland 2026, host Boone Lockard, VP of HME, Respiratory, and Wellness at VGM, sits down with Dr. Colleen Lance, Chief Medical Officer at React Health, and Bill Shoop, CEO of React Health, to unpack the seismic shifts in the NIV and ventilation market following the release of the new National Coverage Determination (NCD) for COPD. They discuss what changed in policy, how providers have adapted (or struggled), the role of CO2 requirements and adherence monitoring, best practices for patient care, and what the future of NIV looks like across the full spectrum of chronic respiratory disease. Whether you're an HME provider, prescriber, or manufacturer, this conversation offers practical insights on partnership, education, and navigating change in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
