PHC Health Care

What PHC Health Care does

PHC Health Care is a privately held, locally owned home health and durable medical equipment (DME) provider headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, operating under the corporate entities Hedgemark Brentwood Pharmacy, Inc. (DME) and Hedgemark Brentwood Medical Services (PHC Home Health). Founded in 1992, the company has served the Lowcountry region for over three decades from its showroom at 1548 Ashley River Road and a secondary home health office on Folly Road, with a service area spanning Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester Counties. Its business is structured around two integrated divisions: a Medicare-certified home health agency providing physician-directed skilled nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy, and a DME retail/rental operation covering mobility products (power wheelchairs, manual wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, transport chairs), accessibility solutions (Harmar stairlifts, ramps, vertical platform lifts, vehicle lifts), sleep therapy (CPAP/BiPAP machines and supplies), respiratory equipment (Inogen, iGO2, and P2-E6 portable oxygen concentrators), bath safety, hospital beds, power lift recliners, continuous glucose monitors (Dexcom and Abbott FreeStyle Libre), and specialized pediatric sleep products (Cubby Beds).

The company monetizes through a mix of hardware sales, equipment rentals on weekly/monthly subscriptions (e.g., $40-$140/month knee walkers, $175-$350/month mobility scooters, $300-$600/month oxygen concentrators), recurring consumable supply replenishment for CPAP and CGM users (insurance-reimbursed on fixed schedules), and professional home health services billed primarily through Medicare and private insurance. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via the physical showroom, phone sales at 843-762-1177, and home consultations, layered with a referral channel from physicians, hospitals, case managers, and discharge planners for home health services. The technology stack is conventional — a Wix-hosted marketing website, a patient pay portal at phchealth.hmebillpay.com, and standard CRM-style intake workflows — with no proprietary software, AI/ML capability, or developer-facing API. Strategic emphasis is on being a one-stop local provider that bundles equipment, installation, and clinical services under a single brand, competing on convenience, local reputation, and Medicare-billable clinical depth rather than on technology differentiation.
