Before purchasing medical equipment from any of these suppliers be sure to do things like visiting their website, call them and ask your health insurance plan if they will pay for DME from these stores.
It is critically important that you speak to your insurance plan to get their approval before buying medical equipment from a DME company. Otherwise, you could be charged 100% of the cost!
Does Health Insurance Cover The Cost Of Medical Equipment?
Yes, health insurance typically covers the cost of medical equipment if it is approved by both your insurance and your doctor.
Even if your insurance does not cover the cost of medical equipment most medical supply stores offer financing options, so be sure to ask about those before making a purchase.
Again before buying any DME equipment be sure to talk to both your health insurance company and your doctor to better understand what charges you will and will not be responsible for.
