Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) covers medically necessary DME if a medical provider prescribes it for use in a patient's home. DME that Medicare covers includes, but isn't limited to:
If the supplier accepts the assignment, patients pay 20% of the Medicare-Approved Amount, and the Part B deductible applies. Medicare pays for different kinds of DME in different ways. Depending on the type of equipment:
Patients may need to rent the equipment
Patients may need to buy the equipment
Patients may be able to choose whether to rent or buy the equipment
Medicare will only cover the DME if a medical provider and the DME suppliers are enrolled in Medicare. Medical providers and suppliers have to meet strict standards to enroll and stay enrolled in Medicare. If a medical provider or supplier isn't enrolled, Medicare won’t pay the claims submitted by them. Medicare will not pay claims to medical providers or suppliers who aren't enrolled in Medicare.
