Bodygem vs. Medgem..Which is right for your business?

-->
Many people contact our company asking for the Medgem RMR Analyzer  when the Bodygem RMR Analyzer might be the more appropriate of the two. The following is a breakdown of the differences between the two products:

1. The Medgem is an FDA approved medical registered device that provides you both the resting metabolic rate (rmr) and oxygen uptake (O2) numerically. This product must be purchased if you are planning to attempt CPT code insurance reimbursement.

2. The Bodygem will provide the identical resting metabolic rate number as the Medgem but will not provide the oxygen uptake numerically.

Both the Medgem and Bodygem can be purchased as a pre-loaded unit with a fixed number of tests built in (40 plus 2 bonus tests). The Medgem 40 and the Bodygem 40 are the choices to make if you are expecting low volume or are not sure of your expected volume. These units come with 2 boxes of mouthpieces (21/box), Analyzer software, marketing materials and implementation CD. When you have peformed 42 tests, you may purchase either a Medgem 40 reorder kit or Bodygem 40 reorder kit. These reorder kits come with a new unit with 40 tests pre-loaded and two boxes of mouthpieces.

If you are confident that your volume will be at least 15-20 tests/month, we would recommend the system kits or the WatchWt Medgem Solutions Kit. The difference between the "Solutions Kit" and the "System Kit" is that the Solutions Kit comes with a turn key detailed implementation program and CD. This program is geared toward the medical doctor who wants to implement a weight loss clinic but doesn't have the "tools" to do it. If you already have a program that you are ready to implement but are just looking for the analyzer and its accompanying software, we would recommend the System Kit.

Please note that when you purchase the System Kit or the Solutions kit, your initial purchase comes with one box of mouthpieces to get you started. You then purchase mouthpieces separately on a "buy two boxes, get one free" program.
