Evaluation and medical order
Your healthcare professional will evaluate whether a device may be helpful and, when appropriate, specify the features you need.
Supportive equipment
Durable medical equipment
Some devices can help you move, carry out everyday activities, or follow your care plan at home. Durable medical equipment, known as DME, is designed for repeated use for a medical purpose.
Your healthcare professional can help determine whether you need equipment and guide you through the next steps.
The right support for your needs
Equipment can include mobility aids, orthopedic supports, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation units, known as TENS, among other devices. The right option depends on your evaluation and needs.
Fitting and use
Some equipment requires measurements, adjustments, or instructions for proper use. Ask how to use it and whom to contact if you have questions or need help.
Supplier and coverage
Availability and coverage vary by equipment, supplier, and insurance plan. Before obtaining equipment, ask which requirements apply and what costs you may be responsible for.
