Helpful brings together your insurance benefits, legal documents, and medical records in one personalized place — so you always know what you have, and never have to search again.
Durable medical equipment is equipment, devices, and supplies that are reusable and generally not disposable. While walkers or wheelchairs and grab bars are common examples, the range of DME is much broader. It comprises everything from raised toilet seats to hospital beds and home modifications.
DME is ordered by a provider for medical reasons such as safety, treatment or therapy, or to improve quality of life. Examples include walkers, wheelchairs, crutches, powered mattress systems, diabetic supplies, infusion pumps, speech-generating devices, oxygen equipment, nebulizers, or hospital beds ordered by a provider for use in the home.
All medically necessary DME is covered. If the supplier in the area does not carry a particular brand or manufacturer preferred by the provider, a special order can be requested.
