Home Medical Equipment (HME) Defined
HME is an encompassing term used to describe equipment that is primarily used to serve a medical purpose, can withstand repeated use, and is appropriate for use in the home. Use of HME not only helps patients perform independent daily activities in the home but often allows them to participate in activities out of the home as well.
Disposable Medical Supplies
Disposable medical supplies describe equipment that is primarily used to manage a condition. Many disposable medical supplies help protect caregivers as well as patients while other disposable medical supplies assist in the control of certain conditions, such as incontinence or wound care. Reliable Medical works with customers to find the cost-effective quality tools and materials they need to improve their own or a loved one’s health and wellbeing.
Coverage for DME & Disposable Medical Supplies
If your doctor prescribes DME and/or DME supplies, it may be a covered item under your health insurance plan. Simple insurance verification will tell us if your item is covered and/or if it requires prior authorization. At a minimum, you will need a detailed prescription from your doctor for insurance coverage.
