Questions, answered.
For availability or a situation specific to you, call our Lynbrook team directly.
Do I need a prescription for other equipment rentals?
If insurance is being billed, yes, a valid physician prescription is required. For self pay rentals of non oxygen equipment, no prescription is needed. Call (516) 623-9500 and we will tell you which applies to you.
What medical equipment do you rent?
We rent hospital beds including bariatric beds, oxygen concentrators including portable models and oxygen tanks, wheelchairs including bariatric wheelchairs, power chairs, patient lifts, overbed tables, and trapeze bars. Call (516) 623-9500 to check availability.
How much does it cost to rent a hospital bed, wheelchair, or oxygen concentrator?
It depends on the equipment, how long you need it, and delivery, so we quote by phone rather than posting a price list. Call (516) 623-9500 and we will give you the number on the spot.
Do you take insurance or Medicare?
We are a Medicare enrolled medical equipment supplier and participate with New York Medicaid and many managed care plans. Call (516) 623-9500 with the plan name and we will verify coverage before delivery. Self pay rentals are welcome too.
How does renting work?
Call (516) 623-9500, tell us what you need, and we check the prescription and coverage first. Then we deliver, set up, and demonstrate the equipment. Rentals are month to month, and we pick the equipment up when you are done.
A family member is being discharged from the hospital. Can you set up equipment at home?
Yes, hospital bed, wheelchair, oxygen, and lift rentals for a hospital discharge are some of our most common calls. Call us before the discharge day if you can, so the prescription and coverage checks are done and the home is ready.
Is the rental equipment clean?
Yes. Every rental is inspected, cleaned, and sanitized by our own team before delivery.
What if the equipment stops working while I have it?
Call us at (516) 623-9500, Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. We service our own equipment locally, so you are talking to the team that delivered it, not a third party call center.
Do you rent walkers or rollators?
Walkers and rollators are items we sell rather than rent. Call (516) 623-9500 and we will help you pick the right one to buy.
Can I rent a wheelchair for a short visit or recovery?
Yes. Month to month wheelchair rental is ideal for surgery recovery, travel, or family visiting from out of town. Call (516) 623-9500 and we will deliver and set it up.
Do you rent portable oxygen concentrators for travel?
Yes, we rent portable oxygen concentrators for travel. Airline rules vary, so call (516) 623-9500 before your trip and tell us where you are headed, and we will make sure you have what the trip needs.
Do you provide home health aides or caregivers?
No. We are a medical equipment supplier, not a home care agency. We rent and deliver hospital beds, wheelchairs, oxygen, and lifts, and we do not staff caregivers.
Do you have Spanish speaking staff?
Yes, our front desk can take your call in Spanish. Call (516) 623-9500.
