Medical Equipment and Supplies
Home medical supplies and equipment needed for recovery after an accident or surgery, or just for daily use to improve mobility, is not covered by insurance, and comes at a high out-of-pocket cost. Having access to good quality, durable medical equipment and supplies while away from the clinic or hospital can help speed recovery, and improve quality of life.
Mobility devices and equipment, such as canes, crutches and walkers, standard or motorized wheelchairs, scooters and driving controls, can give you the freedom to move around on your own. Home hospital beds, Life Chairs, and bath safety products like grab bars or shower chairs and benches, can make recovery at home more comfortable, and some medical equipment such as home ventilators, dialysis machines and portable oxygen equipment aren’t a luxury, but the difference between life and death.
