Amy Lerman, Member of the Firm, co-presents “Innovate Responsibly: Compliance Strategies that Empower (and Don’t Hinder) DME Growth” at Medtrade 2026, which runs from March 2 to 4.

Innovation in the DME industry is no longer optional.  It is a competitive necessity. Yet, whether you are launching a digital ordering platform, integrating with telehealth partners, or redesigning patient onboarding functions, regulatory gray areas are unavoidable. How should you approach compliance when innovation can outpace regulation?

This session is for innovators—founders, growth leaders, product teams, and forward-thinking executives—who are pushing the DME industry forward. This panel of legal, compliance, and industry professionals will offer practical, real-world guidance on how to strategically build your compliance infrastructure—how to integrate compliance best practices with operational scaling—to foster trust and mitigate potential legal and reputational risks. You’ll walk away with a compliance mindset that aligns with your business goals—so you can innovate boldly and within legal guardrails.

Speakers will discuss:

  • Why innovators should care about compliance
  • Common compliance “hot zones”— where innovation meets regulation
  • Structuring partnerships compliantly
  • Scaling for effective compliance — compliance that does not kill growth
  • Enforcement trends and future risk

After attending this session, participants will be able to:

  • Spot common compliance risk areas for fast-growing or tech-forward DME businesses and learn strategies for mitigation.
  • Appreciate key considerations in designing compliant workflows (e.g., e-prescribing, patient intake, delivery tracking) that meet both user needs and regulatory standards.
  • Evaluate partnership opportunities, particularly those with potential referral sources, through a compliance lens and without killing the deal.
  • Leverage compliance as a value-add in product development, fundraising, and go-to-market strategies, especially when engaging with payers or institutional partners.
  • Design and implement scalable internal controls that support growth-stage operations without stalling progress.
