Examples of DME include:

  • Crutches
  • TENS units
  • Traction units
  • Muscle stimulators
  • Orthotics and prosthetics
  • Glucometers
  • Insulin pumps and supplies
  • Hearing aids
  • Ostomy, urological, tracheostomy supplies
  • Mastectomy bras and prosthetics
  • Continuous passive motion rentals: Coverage is based on health plan benefit (have your physician contact us to confirm coverage)
