What medical equipment is covered under Medicare Part B?
Medicare Part B covers medically necessary durable medical equipment prescribed by a doctor for use in your home. Covered categories include:
- Mobility aids: 4-wheel rollator walkers with seats, folding standard walkers, canes, crutches, and manual wheelchairs
- Respiratory devices: Jet nebulizer compressors, tubing, masks, and inhalation medication solutions
- Diabetic supplies: Blood glucose monitors, test strips, lancets, and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs)
- Surgical dressings: Primary wound care gauze, hydrogels, and border foams following qualifying procedures
What documentation is required to bill Medicare Part B for DME?
Medicare requires a written order and Certificate of Medical Necessity (CMN) from your licensed physician documenting that the equipment is necessary for daily functional mobility or medical treatment at home. Our pharmacy team coordinates directly with your doctor's office to obtain all paperwork.
How much will I pay out-of-pocket for covered DME?
After meeting your annual Part B deductible, Medicare covers 80% of the approved amount. If you have a supplemental Medigap policy or secondary insurance, it typically covers the remaining 20% coinsurance, leaving you with $0 out-of-pocket expense.
