Patients Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do I do when I'm finished using my equipment?
A: Fill out this form and a patient services reprenstative will contact you to arrange pickup of your equipment.
Q: Will my insurance company pay for my rental equipment?
A: Each insurance plan has different reimbursement guidelines for coverage for our equipment. We will gather your insurance information prior to your use and we attempt to get a “commitment” from your insurance carrier. It is important that you also attempt to contact your insurance carrier regarding coverage, because you are ultimately responsible for payment.
Q: What if my insurance company doesn’t pay for the medical device prescribed for me by my doctor?
A: Upon receiving a copy of your current contract/policy, we can determine exactly what benefits are available that may obligate your insurance company to pay the claim.
Q:What if I was involved in a personal injury and have an attorney?
A: Upon receiving the attorney’s information, we can have a 'letter of protection' signed by the patient and by the attorney, and accept a lien as payment. Which means we get paid out of the possible settlement.
