Improve everyday living using durable equipment designed for lasting comfort.

Durable Medical Equipment (DME) is any equipment that provides therapeutic benefits to a patient in need because of certain medical conditions and/or illnesses.

Durable Medical Equipment (DME) consists of items that:

  • are primarily and customarily used to serve a medical purpose;
  • are not useful to a person in the absence of illness or injury;
  • are ordered or prescribed by a physician;
  • are reusable;
  • can stand repeated use, and
  • are appropriate for use in the home.

DME includes, but is not limited to:

  • Wheelchairs (manual and electric),
  • Traction equipment
  • Canes
  • Crutches
  • Diaper
  • Lifts
  • Nebulizers

Durable medical equipment may be covered when all of the following criteria are met:

  • The equipment provides therapeutic benefit to a patient in need because of certain medical conditions and/or illnesses
  • The DME is prescribed by a licensed provider
  • The DME does not serve primarily as a comfort or convenience item
  • The equipment does not have significant non-medical uses (e.g., environmental control equipment, air conditioners, air filters, humidifiers).
