DME may be classified as a rental item or a purchased item. In most cases, this plan only pays for a rental DME up to our allowance for a purchased DME. Repairs and supplies for rental DME are included in the rental allowance. Preauthorization may be required for certain DME and replacement or repairs of DME.

Medical supplies require an order by a physician and must be essential for the care or treatment of an illness, injury, or congenital defect.
