Medicare coverage of durable medical equipment?

I am surprised that the people you are renting from didn't ask about Medicare or your suppliment.

Any durable medical equipment has to have a prescription from a doctor. To get Medicare to pay for it, you have to use a Medicare supplier. You may not be able to get reimbursed for amounts already paid if before the prescription or from a non-medicare supplier. Start with doctor to get a prescription for the equipment - if you have home health, see if they will do a needs assessment and get you the prescription. Then get a list of the suppliers that accept Medicare in your area.
