Durable Medical Equipment: research reports

There are certain criteria Medicare uses to determine if of DME is to be covered. In some cases Medicare will cover the purchase of DME and in other cases it will only cover rental of the equipment. In either case, the medical equipment must be deemed medically necessary and in most cases reusable. The patient’s medical practitioner must prescribe the specific equipment and it will often need to be approved by Medicare before purchased. The DME must be purchased from an approved supplier enrolled in the Medicare program. Reimbursement trends will be covered in many of the reports in this category.
