For insurance to rent a hospital bed, you will need an appointment with your provider to document the medical necessity of a hospital bed in your home. Your diagnosis will also be a factor in determining the medical necessity.

For insurance to rent a CPAP/BiPAP machine, you will need an appointment with your provider. At this appointment you will need to discuss the signs and symptoms of OSA (obstructive sleep apnea). These can include the following: excessive daytime sleepiness, loud snoring, gasping for breath while sleeping, impaired cognition, mood disorders, or insomnia. Also, another factor of OSA is hypertension, ischemic heart disease, or a history of stroke. Your physician will then determine if you need to be scheduled for a sleep study.

You or a family member can call and speak to the nurse about what is needed in the home to make it easier to be mobile and help avoid falls.

Insurance states that 5 years is a useful lifetime on all medical equipment. To get a new CPAP machine, you will need to have an appointment with your provider and let them know it has been 5 years or more since you have had your CPAP machine. Depending on how long ago your sleep study was, your provider may choose to have you repeat a sleep study or may not. The documentation that you have had your CPAP for 5 years or more and you are using and are compliant with therapy and an RX with a copy of the old or new sleep study will allow your insurance to rent the new CPAP machine.

Yes, if you are a current oxygen patient and you are using small tanks on a regular basis, we can send an RX to your provider and get you switched.

Yes and no. The first thing to note is insurance rents your oxygen monthly. Depending on what insurance you have as to how long they rent. I will speak from Medicare insurance and their rental process. They rent oxygen for 3 years, and then it goes into maintenance for 2 years. If you are 2 years or more into a rental from Medicare, it is not advisable to change providers at this point. The reason is that the new supplier will only get one year of rental payments, and then it will go into a maintenance phase. The maintenance phase will allow the supplier to get a payment only when they check the oxygen purity and do maintenance in the home.
