Does Medicare Cover DME and Medical Supplies?
Whether you have Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage Plan, the types of Medicare-covered equipment should be the same.
Medicare usually covers DME if the equipment:
- is durable, meaning it is able to withstand repeated use
- serves a medical purpose
- is appropriate for use in the home, although you can also use it outside the home
- and, is likely to last for three years or more
Examples of DME covered by Medicare include:
- Wheelchairs
- Walkers
- Hospital beds
- Power scooters
- Portable oxygen equipment
Medicare also covers certain prescription medications and medical supplies that you use with your DME, even if they are disposable or can only be used once. For example, Medicare covers medications used with nebulizers. Medicare also covers lancets and test strips used with diabetes self-testing equipment. There are also certain kinds of equipment and supplies that Medicare will not cover.
To find out if Medicare will cover the equipment or supplies you need, call 1-800-MEDICARE or visit www.medicare.gov. You can also learn about Medicare coverage of DME by contacting your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).
