preowned medical equipment

Durable medical equipment and Medicare

With costs of the most common durable medical equipment reaching upwards of $1,200, the need for payment by Medicare is substantial. This increased cost of medical equipment forces elderly persons to look to Medicare and the rules governing what is covered are often confusing and time consuming. Find a durable medical equipment supplier and rely on their expertise, experience and guidance.

Durable medical equipment is a health care device that helps the elderly and/or disabled person do daily activities easier, and includes such items as wheelchairs, walkers, oxygen tanks, and hospital beds. Even items such as mobility aids, medication dispensers, convalescent care products, rehabilitation equipment and more. Also, Federal housing agencies want to make a difference to the lives of elderly and disabled persons by providing financial assistance to homeowners and landlords to carry out home adaptations.

Medicare covers certain types of durable medical equipment under certain circumstances.

Under Medicare Part B, the supplementary medical insurance program, rental or purchase of durable medical equipment is covered. However, certain restrictions are set out which elderly persons need do be aware of when considering purchasing durable medical equipment through a medical provider.

These restrictions can cost the elderly person thousands of dollars if they are unaware of the restrictions governing coverage of durable medical equipment by Medicare.

Aiding the elderly person in pre-purchase determinations of what durable medical equipment Medicare will cover can result in substantial savings. For example, the most common denials include oxygen and hospital beds, and coverage is not available to residents in skilled nursing homes.

Consumers, attorneys, and providers of durable medical equipment should be aware of these restrictions as they can result in different purchasing plans for the elderly consumer.

With preowned medical equipment, a buyer can save more money than buying new equipments. One must look if these second hand equipments are in good condition.

My neighbor has able to get his hands on a preowned mobility scooter recently. He had a small accident not long ago that has made it very difficult for him to walk much. Finding it for cheap has really helped him out in his daily life.

My friend is in search of some medical equipment for his mom and brother, but he hasn't had success in finding anything. He asked if I could help him, but I don't know what to look for. This helped a ton though, and I feel confident that we will find some soon.

I actually didn't know that you could purchase pre-owned medical equipment. That could actually help a lot of people that need to have certain device to get them cheaper than what they are usually. Now, there are going to be things that you can't resell due to biohazards and other safety concerns but I think that there is a lot in the medical field that could be bought pre-owned. http://www.medichaircalgary.com/products_for_health_and_mobility.html
